“SLINKY SERPENTS HISS: SENSUAL SEX SENSATIONS…SAVORY, SUMPTUOUS”
Haiku Poem, by Lawrence R. Spencer
__________________________________________________
It is the usual trait of Men, who inhabit fragile forms of flesh, to blame their addictions and inability to be responsible for their own ignorance and brutality, AND to blame others for the own disabilities. Such is the classic case of the authors of the Bible, and other ancient mythological texts in the Western World. In about 600 BCE while the Jews were captive in Babylonia, the few scribes that could actually write, compiled and committed to paper their own pathetic history. Much of what they wrote was borrowed or stolen from earlier, ancient civilizations who inhabited Earth for thousands of years before these band of pitiful slaves and peasant. During the entire history of human beings on Earth, nearly every society, with very few exceptions, we patriarchal. Simply stated, men ruled and ran societies solely and ONLY because the had larger muscles, less courage and much less empathy, compassion and ability to love than the female half of the population. Females, by virtue of smaller muscles, and less inclination to beat and murder their fellows, have been literally forced into slavery during the entire history of Earth.
So, it is very easy to understand that one of the FEW WEAPONS that Womankind possess to sustain their own survival, to fight back and protect themselves in a race of brutal idiots, it to develop feminine “charms”: beauty of face, of form. Wisdom. Practical survival sensibilities. And sexual wiles that men cannot not resist. These abilities also have to benefit of sustaining the population. Child birth, the most painful ordeal that ANY human body can possibly endure, cannot be done by men. Men are too cowardly and weak for the truly agonizing labor of pushing a bowling ball through a hole the size of a small apple!
However, the cowardice and stupidity of Men continues without inspection and remains unchallenged by the men who are truly the Source of Evil on Planet Earth — Patriarchal Priests and Mindless Sheep. Women are villainized by weaklings and cowards — PRIESTS , to be specific — as “Evil”….. In the mythology of the “Garden of Eden’, it is the female EVE who is portrayed to be “evil” by the Priests who made up these farcical stories. The same cowards — most of whom have never had sex with anyone except each other, or small boys, or goats — cram their Patriarchal Propaganda down the throats of the mindless sheep who read them, century after century! After all the thousands and thousands of years of this brutal stupidity, one could easily argue that Females would be justified in murdering every Priest in their sleep, and any other “man” who continues to brutalize women, while blaming these innocents for their own addiction to sexual sensation! Or, in the case of Priests, their own inability to understand the meaning of Love, Compassion, Aesthetic, Kindness and Nurturing…. the basic characteristics of Women.

THE “I” OF “ME”

“How few original thoughts or original actions are performed by the average person? Are not the majority of persons mere shadows and echoes of others having stronger wills or minds than themselves? The trouble is that the average person dwells almost altogether in his “Me” consciousness, and does not realize that he has such a thing as an “I.” He is polarized in his Feminine Principle of Mind, and the Masculine Principle, in which is lodged the Will, is allowed to remain inactive and not employed.”

PROOF OF SPIRITS
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
In spite of vast numbers of “ghost sightings”, innumerable reports of “out-of-body experiences”, and “divine encounters” with gods or spirits, that pervades nearly all of prehistoric and recorded human history, I found only one underlying, unifying, indisputable, axiomatic common denominator that permeates all of this data:
Assuming that subjective reality, or beliefs, of individuals is acceptable evidence, there has been no universally agreed upon “proof” that “spirits” or gods or life-after-death based on physical evidence, circumstantial or subjective data. There are several deductions I can infer from the lack of physical evidence that such things are real, and, if verified, may lead to a workable solution to many of the “mysteries” of Life, Universes and Other Stuff“:
deduction:
In spite of an enormous collection of subjective, circumstantial “evidence” of spiritual activity on and around Earth, the existence, intentions and the activities of spirits remain hidden and mysterious.
deduction:
Universally agreed upon proof of the existence of spirituality, based on subjective data, physical and circumstantial evidence are subject to conflicting vested interests, which has made such proof unattainable.
Collectively, these deductions beg the obvious question:
If spirits exist, why is there no “proof”? The answer seems to be fairly obvious, at least to me: Perceptions of spirituality are a subjective reality, unique and different for every individual. Subjective reality does not require evidence or “proof”. The proof is within you.
