Uncanny

 It's uncanny how it works.  Both "you can't see the forest for the trees" and "you can't see the trees for the forest" apply.

I was just pondering again, after rereading Labyrinth (from Human).  The forest and trees became even clearer.

1. We are completely dependent on coitus for our existence.  Without it, we go extinct.

2. No one, man nor woman, is satisfied with the results of the act of coitus when the loving is not mutual.  Oh, yes!  Men are relieved but not satisfied.  Only a male animal would be satisfied.

3. Being sentient, we know better.  We know that the human race is not just an animal.  Whether we like it or not.  We know we should be able to do better.  We created the word love but never created the circumstances to fulfill it.

4.  We became convinced we can do no better because of the paradigms of nonsense a group of prehumans with no experience, knowledge, or insights regarding being sentient adopted millennia ago.  We have clung to those outdated concepts since the beginning.  Do you see the beginnings of our confusion?  It was too much for early humans to handle, so they buried as deeply as possible behind a smear campaign.  That is where the confusion came into being.

5.  We never stumbled on the fact (until now) that, for a sentient race, there can be so much more to coitus.  It can become a loving act, not just the rutting of animals.  Until that happens, love corrodes into lust.  It is stripped bare of all of its tremendous and essential human potential.  Loving coitus is human and magnificently fulfills both the love and the lust that we all desire.

To summarize: we can't live with coitus in its animal form and we certainly cannot live without it.

That pretty much sums up our confusion, the ongoing stupour caused by the confusion, the paradigms of nonsense that we developed to cover our confusion, why men are so whacked out (they really do want to love), why women are so stable (they do love, since they fulfill their partner during coitus consistently and without hesitation), and so much more.  The evidence is everywhere.

Add on top of that the fact that men have a driving urge for sexual release that can get out of hand (pun intended) and the stage is set for the biggest misdirect of the ages.  Unlike an animal, those sexual urges of the man became unconstrained.  Just like animals, their performance has remained very constrained, obviating their ability to express their love in its most essential physical form.  

Do you see the joker in the deck yet?  Do you see why men have tried to prop up their image for as long as we have been sentient?  Uncertainty, confusion, perversions, and stupour developed because we have always looked at it as an animal would.

The phrase "we are only human" says it all.  It is the most offensive phrase ever created and, so far, we deserve it.  I look forward to the day that we say, "Omigoodness, we are human!"

Conspiracy theories

There is one conspiracy that caused all of the conspiracy theories.  We are suspicious, distrusting, paranoid, and befuddled for one reason, and it causes us to look for answers where there are none.  It is the conspiracy comprised of the whole of the human race.  We have never faced the one issue that derailed our sentient state.  That is the only real conspiracy.   We have bottled it up inside each one of us, substituting some number of paradigms of nonsense to compensate.

We are a mess and can't even admit it.  So, we make shit up.  All of the conspiracy theories are based on the conspiracy never to look under the covers.  It is the stupour at work.   We want answers and have been too lazy, fearful, paranoid, and imbecilic to find the real answer.  The real answer is that we are a mess until loving coitus becomes the gladly accepted, celebrated form of coitus. With that realization, we begin to become human and put all of the conspiracy theories behind us.

Irony

There is so much irony in all of this that it becomes mind-boggling.  The one that really hits home, though, is that it took a lifetime to resolve the puzzle and, yet, it will take a young man to see it through.

Another irony is that men have thought all along that they had it all.  At least, that is what their surface thoughts convey.  Deep beneath, lurking in the subconscious since we became sentient, they have always known that something was wrong.  Their compensation, as a gender, is everywhere to be seen.  No one has wanted to face the truth because all were convinced there was nothing to be done.  Humanity has been so wrong on so many levels.

As I've mentioned in a number of the books, sentience seeks clarity.  When clarity if forcefully denied in the face of what is apparent to any sentient creature, we become befuddled.  We remain in a stupour. 

Even if it were true that there was nothing to be done about it (just shoot me now), we would need to face the truth.  All of the conflicts regarding sex that we face today could be dealt with if only we faced the truth.  The more difficult truth to prove is that men are not on a clock when it comes to coitus because we are not just an animal.  Animals are limited in their duration because of nothing more than instincts.  Men can learn to overrule those instincts.  That is what the chapter Details begins to uncover.  Men can learn to love.  Men can perform the act of loving coitus, even though the majority today still do not.

The books

I have apologised for the books long enough.  They are very good.  They were the necessary exploration of the mess we have made of human life.  

I would start with Human, the latest book.  It certainly has the most insightful view.  It's been a learning process all along.  But, really, they are all terribly insightful as I progressed past the prehuman view.

I call it speculative nonfiction.  Of course, it is no longer speculative.  I would say the speculation ended entirely around Ten.

All of the nonsense

I keep looking for a way to circumvent the paradigms of nonsense for you, but that is difficult.  Maybe I have succeeded this time.  The most difficult issue with the paradigms of nonsense is that there are so many, each with its own little twists of delusion that trigger the denial.  It is the River Lethe in an all too real form.

Let's see if I can describe the worst paradigms of nonsense.

The first, the one that held us in thrall for ages in the west was "Sex is for making babies only".  For animals, that is true.  They couldn't do any better.  We have relegated ourselves to the state of an animal due to inertia.  That is not appropriate for a human, sentient being.  It is an unnecessary restriction (see sentient clarity).  Coitus, and sex in general, for a sentient being is not the same as it is for an animal.  It should be enjoyed mutually.

"Joy and celebration of the transcendent state that can exist during coitus is bad" just about every religion in existence proclaims, in one phrase or another.  Make no mistake about it.  It was the genesis of misogyny, sexism, perverse outlooks, and the failure of our sentient state.  All because coitus has never been a shared joy.  Do you see how this led to all of today's conflicts regarding sex?  We have known better for a long time.  We just wouldn't admit it openly until the last century or so.

By the way, I have no idea how the East bypassed the sentient reality.  I would have to guess it is buried in the "save face" thought process.

All of the rest of the paradigms of nonsense stem from those two that were enacted long, long ago.  Sappho, as far as I can tell, was the first to bash it all to pieces.  Is it any surprise that most of her work was burned?

The militant view of those that seek alternatives that succeed in making loving mutual are understandable but not helpful.  They will change as the opprobrious reactions fade with the advent of loving coitus.

None of those initial paradigms of nonsense have helped.  They did not impede the perversions, insanity, misogyny, or hate that has held humanity in its grip since the beginning.

That is another point.  All we have done for three millennia is hide from the truth.  We concocted religions in the west  specifically to hide from the truth.  That goes as far back as The Garden Of Eden and the later versions of Pandora's Box.

The essence of Pandora's Box says it all very clearly.  

Well, I'm not going to go into all of the paradigms of nonsense that followed in order to avoid the truth.  They were piled, one on top of another, as we continued to deny a sentient reality.  That is part of what the books are about.  It took me fifteen years to break through.  It should take you less than a few books.

Slightly edited and I will almost certainly have more to add.

That it took twelve books (and a few million more written words, including a lot of rhoetry) to get here only goes to show how deeply embedded the paradigms of nonsense are.

One last clarifying point.  There is no evil (you'll note that I avoid the word (and the word 'god' most assiduously).  There is only stupour and lack of clarity.  Or, to perhaps state it more precisely,  The lack of clarity caused by the forced stupour caused by sexual inadequacy equates to evil.  It is all inertia of the animal.

Sigh.  Since I mentioned 'god', I should clarify.  I am utterly agnostic when it comes to some being creating everything and messing around with it.  If there is such a being, it has not revealed itself to me.  I do not consider any other prehuman credible.  They are, as far as I can tell, all snake-oil salesmen.  Slimy and unworthy.  Do you think the perversions of the clerics is new?  I do not consider some form of creator out of the question.  But, I sure consider all of the fabrications that the prehuman has created nothing more than fabrications.  "I speak for god" is almost as offensive as "We are only human".  Afterdeath is another matter entirely.
