The Sexual Revolution as counterfeit coupling
786/303
In the human coupling department, personal empirical observation of nearly 4 decades has proven to me to a moral certainty - and without any religious or scriptural subtexts necessarily influencing my views - that the Sexual Revolution has been an all around disaster, and esp. for women. I am also convinced that the literal explosion of mental illness throughout the world since the 1970s - and particularly bi-polar manic depression - is directly connected in some way to it. I have seen too much direct evidence of it to dismiss this nexus too lightly. Unfortunately to touch on this topic too openly usually invites ignorant backlash and accusations.
Now, I am not a sexual prude or any kind of religious arch-conservative by any stretch of the imagination, but as observable, empirical evidence has proven to me time and time again this Sexual Revolution rather than actually cultivating the most precious emotion and virtue between two humans - Love - by and large appears to have almost extinguished its Light among countless human beings on this planet. At present, it appears to be one of the direct causes whereby men and women are incapable of maintaining long-term relationships with one another, jumping from one partner to the next as if people are merchandise or pleasure utilities to be obtained and discarded on whim. Then there are those false gurus of the 1960s-1970s, like Osho or even Aleister Crowley, who even actively encouraged such a state of affairs, incubating thereby utter malevolence within the mass culture while couching the justification for such absurdities that by the standards of any other civilization would be looked upon as the most banal form of pseudo-spiritual and materialist gobbledygook imaginable.
The fact is that the sexual impulse is the basis of human spiritual power and connection to the Divine. As the Tantras prove, sex is magic/theurgy, it is Power (shakti)! While the root chakra often gets dismissed as being the inferior chakra as compared to the crown, the fact of the matter is that all things begin with it and so without the root chakra there is no traversing of the other 5 stages to the crown chakra, since as the Hermetic dictum of the Emerald Tablet holds, 'As Above, so below.' Yet the Sexual Revolution has so accustomed and normalized the burn-out of this root chakra amongst masses of contemporaries that people then wonder why we have had such an explosion in the culture of mental illnesses such as bi-polar manic depression and similar. Current Western psychology and its related pharmaceutically driven crank science of psychiatry obviously cannot see or digest matters this way.
As an occultist, I am very well aware of the fact that the overuse and/or misuse of the sexual impulse is the grounds for the corruption of the soul similar to if one were to overburden a circuit in an electricity board and corrupt its circuitry and even blow it out completely. I dealt with one case during the 00s of a woman who was literally possessed by an extremely malevolent entity due to such behavior and then dealt with a few more such cases later on whose patterns and then symptoms were identical: these women had slept around a fair bit and then had all manner of unseen parasitic entities attached to them destroying their lives, making them mentally ill, and even bringing a few of them to the point of death. As for the men: they have increasingly lost the capacity to be real men by the standards of any civilization and thereby have lost any authentic capacity to love and serve a single woman for the duration of a lifetime as if she were the Goddess incarnate! The possibility of such a thing is not even considered as real anymore.
I don't want to hear from the polyamorists and similar over this question just as I don't want to hear from the religious arch-conservatives either. But at least the religious arch-conservatives somewhat understood things correctly because the proof is in the proverbial pudding, and the pudding is in the eating. Be that as it may, however its proponents spin the issue, the Sexual Revolution and its diffusion is not nor has ever been about Love - real Love - and the current culture proves this point daily again and again and again beyond any shadow of a doubt!
That said, I am a sworn enemy to patriarchy, and esp. in either of its lock-jawed exoteric Abrahamic forms or the secular capitalist neo-liberal model of it. Both of these are proven to be false, destructive paradigms and constructs. However, I do believe that an authentic civilization can emerge only on the day when women take full control, realize how badly the Sexual Revolution has damaged and short-changed them, and even if temporarily institute a matriarchy in order to stop this run away civilizational train altogether and eventually bring balance to it all. But such an event is going to need a type of woman that is extremely, extremely rare in our times because she is neither a reactionary arch-conservative and prude nor an anything-goes "liberated" whore. Such a type of woman is the Goddess Herself and I am looking for Her!
Wassalaam, Ya NUR!
