Indigenous Wisdom
Back in the day,
before right hand
leftbrain dominance
became our mean girl
weaponized thing
Our bilaterally balanced grandmothers,
whether Eastern Taoists
or Western Animists
(and almost certainly both)
did not think to separate
Left from Right,
mind from body,
passion from pleasure,
if only because our peak experiences
are more co-passionately resonant
than mind v body dissonant,
unhealthy spirit v nature dissociative.
Our great-grandmother MindBodies
could feel
and touch,
smell
and taste,
hear
and see sacred ecology
long before patriarchal SunGod priests
started assuming monotheistic anthrosupremacy
While their grandmother partners
remembered more unitarian synergetic experiments
arousing healthy passion values
rooted in cooperative win/win
nondualistic pleasure.
To this day,
when we sing and dance
mind/body co-embedded,
preverbal indigenous wisdom
looks through capital-crown chakra
passions
and feels through pelvic-root chakra
pleasures
Centered,
neurosystemically emerging up
and branching out
from souls of bilateral feet,
crown/root holistic
open-heart wu-wei engaged
muse motion
depolarizing emotions
anticipating passionate in/ex-haled pleasure.
This looks and feels quite different
than the monotheistic priest
invoking his LeftBrain dominant chant
through his crown chakra
filled with orthodox information
coming off the black and white written
notation page
Read through eyes
to be translated by his throat,
supported by his anthroprivileged abdomen
to produce correctly transcribed sounds
emerging out of his well-capitalized mouth
Correct words
rhythm
beat
rests
pitch
premeditated intervals
Desecrated male bodies,
half-living in LeftBrain dominant minds,
reflect west European verbal expression
from the neck up,
with support from the heart chakra core
to orchestrate correct instrumentation
While indigenous RightBrain mindbodies
muse full-souled engagement
anticipating peak compassion pleasures
reflecting UniversalMind
and UnitarianBody
Yang/Yintegral embodied
head dancer and groin dance
resonantly and resiliently
orchestrating and co-mediating
passion and pleasure
co-climaxing indigenous engagement.
