As a Filipina whose first moment of conversion to born-again evangelicalism brought about a radical rearrangement of desire and life's purpose, I found it inconceivable to imagine that one day, I could ever undergo another conversion that would even more radical, upending all I had previously embraced as the Totality of life's Truth (with double capital Ts) up till then. The catalyst for that second de-conversion/re-conversion experience came unbidden: a life-transforming, epiphanic (!) encounter with indigenous beauty facilitated through an ethnomusicology professor's tutelage in graduate school)—a conversion unlanguaged except through tearful, bodily response to dizzying color, rhythm, movement, visual design, and a very different way of being in the world. This paper will map an understanding of this new radicalizing root-trajectory as portending another rebirth, this time, from a different Mother: the Wild Earth Herself, from whence, I was to learn, that indigenous beauty that hailed me into a new form of subjectivity ultimately came. The theoretical unpacking and gradual "composting" of the hidden civilizational logic hiding inside of what I now understand as imperial Christianity—mis-recognizing indigenous subjectivity as "primitive, uncouth, savage, etc." and one that must be left behind if one were to become a true child of God and a worthy human being—will constitute the paper's primary thematic.
