FREEDOM [4]

 

The only resource at the disposal of the human species that can confront, combat and win themselves back from the robotic-humanity it is mutating itself into, from the cyber-reality it is toiling to build for themselves within a short period from now, is the human mind.

Some argue robotic-humanity, though an entity that can only expect stick instead of carrot for it's services to it's society, is in fact within the design of nature.

But seen from a different angle, this means - in no uncertain terms, a matter of choice given by nature herself to human - a simple choice - whether it would allow itself to be extinct. Dinosaurs, for a popular example, perhaps, did not have this choice.

The other argument is still feeble - as it is not perceivable that the ultimate truth is just mathematics, the cyber-reality of the human robots will not definitely lead to perception of the TRUTH. What is more dangerous is that evolution being a vertical process, this mutation would be an attempt to reversal and therefore would definitely lead to disaster. This could also be within the scheme of nature, unless, of course it is her desire to annihilate herself!

Though theoretically the state of annihilation is beginning of another creation or in fact there is no such thing as annihilation or creation for everything is an illusion - till we have the potential to experience the blissful existence why to pretend dead or just wait for death? Theoretically again, there may not be any ‘separation' of any form of life or matter from the BRAHMAN - the ultimate being, why don't we try to fee THAT unified state ourselves instead of just looking at the map hung before us by the great religious leaders?

Once, before the institutionalized religions took over control, there was a path or rather a common path pursued all over the world for individual realization of the supreme bliss.

Taoism, Paganism, Tantra et al.

Shall we, with a mind as unconditioned as possible, start with asking ourselves a simple question? Who gains by depriving the human of one of the rights that even the life forms lower to it enjoy -like air, sunshine, water, food?

At the same time should we ask ourselves that had the ultimate truth, if at all knowable ever, cannot at least be perceived by words, letters, songs, sculptures, worships .... that is to say by any single means of human expression. To refer to the cliche`, it is like describing the elephant after ‘seeing' it blindfolded - either it is like a rope, a pillar, a python ....

Then what?

Our ancestors knew better. They knew better because they had the time to ponder, time to feel - in an environment of less distraction.

 

An extract from Barry Long's book:
MAKING LOVE ~ SEXUAL LOVE THE DIVINE WAY
a turning point in the understanding of love on the planet. 
 

The cause of most of the unhappiness on earth is that man and woman have actually forgotten how to make physical love. This is the greatest tragedy of all time. The forgetfulness has been going on and slowly getting worse for so many thousands of years that it's now a tragedy for the whole of mankind. There can be no mass solutions. The problem is too personal and too deep. Everybody has to do it for himself or herself, or it can't be done.

Woman's basic unhappiness, her perennial discontent, is because man can no longer reach her physically. Her emotional excess, depressions, tearful frustrations, even premenstrual tension and the conditions leading to hysterectomy and other uterine problems, are due to man's sexual failure to gather or release in lovemaking her finest, fundamental, female energies. These extraordinarily beautiful divine energies are intense and exquisite and when left untapped in woman, as they are now, they degenerate into psychic or emotional disturbances, and eventually crystallise into physical abnormalities. The womb gives birth to all things.

Man's basic unhappiness, his perennial restlessness, is because in forgetting how to make love he's abandoned his original divine authority and lost sexual control of himself. His emotional or psychic degeneracy manifests as sex obsession. All men, without exception, are sex obsessed. This means compulsive sexual fantasising, chronic masturbation (even when living with a partner), sex repression leading to anger and violence, and the universal symptoms of chasing wealth and getting lost in work. Busyness and wealth-gathering compensate for being an inept lover and are cover-ups (in both sexes) for the inability or fear to love.

Because of his neglect of love, neglect of woman, man suffers from premature ejaculation, guilt, anxiety self-doubt, impotence, sexual atrophy masquerading as sexual disinterest, sexual abstinence due to repressed fear of failure, sexual bravado and lack of true wisdom - all of which he inflicts on woman, aggravating her basic discontent and his own restlessness.

No matter how much a woman loves her man and wants to give her love to him, she will not and cannot give up all her divine energies if he is not yet himself, fully integrated or aligned with love. As very few men are themselves, the gap of unhappiness between man and woman keeps on growing.

To be a fully integrated male, a man has to assimilate in his body the divine female energies that woman can only release to him through right physical lovemaking. But the man has to be man enough. He has to be able to love her enough; that is, love her selflessly during the actual act of lovemaking. He has to be able to absorb and express sufficient love in his body to reach the highest part of her, and love enough to extract the divine energies from her deepest centre. To be able to love in this way is the authority man has lost - his only true authority over woman.

This requires pure love. It does not depend on technique. A man may develop his sexual technique but he cannot use expertise to make divine love. Exciting sensations are gratifying and give him a form of authority, but they are not the love that woman craves. He may satisfy her, like a good meal. But soon she hungers again and eventually despises her appetite or herself, because she knows she is not being loved.
