Part I: The Inner Holocaust


Among other things her son knew too much.
He knew perfectly well the undergoing racket og Humanity because, with no shadow of a doubt,
he could tell apart the true God from the usurper to the Throne.

Happy kid, happy parents, but above all
was lucky enough to be born with the right neurotransmitters




Unhappy kid, love-starved, father awaiting execution by firing squad,
un-motherly mother, world gone crazy around him.
But above all was unlucky enough to be born with the wrong neurotransmitters

Una Furtiva Lacrima ...

We have been talking about the Outer Holocaust.
Given the imposed emotional mutism of our male-mind cultures
this is often as much as you will see of the Inner Holocaust caused by
the early desecration of the Lovability Principle of the child.
It may leave the body intact but devestates the Self causing
apparently "benign" neuroses such as anxiety disorders.
In reality there is nothing benign about them because
they inflict to the Self what the Outer Holocaust does to the body

Still Happy
No antidepressants yet...

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you...
... You may strive to be like them
But seek not to make them like you."

Kahlil Gibran

What Gibran is saying is perhaps something like:

DON'T DO THIS! Do not use your baby as a solution to your problems
-or like mastic to fix a crack in your broken marriage

"At the age of 31, after struggling with my beauty and body image since my teens, I finally found the secret to feeling like a vision when I walk into a room — and I found it in my son’s eyes. My baby boy turns his eyes to me and I metamorphose into a goddess. How in the world could I consider myself anything other than stunningly beautiful in the face of my baby’s undying love? Watching my son love me gives me permission to love myself the same way — without hesitancy, without question, without pause."

[Sailer, A. (2003, May/June). Through the eyes of a child [Letter]. Organic Style, p. 14.]


Don't use my glow to bask on it like a basking shark.

Do not appropriate my nascent self, it is not yours -teach me to return it to whom it belongs, to God.

Do not siphon to your mouth the nutritious yolk of the egg, the food that God gave me to survive and become human. I am still an embryo-self mother -or I shall starve to death and dry up for this life time.

Sorry to hear that your own love-starved mother gave you nothing and dried you up. And that your father was no more than the "inseminator on the loose"....He did not even noticed that you existed, or worse yet, sexualized your existence.

But please don't do this to me mother because although you seem not to know where I start and you finish I am not you nor yours....Please spare me mother!


And you "father" listen to this:



They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless

But all along I was looking for a

father -- he was gone

I hung around with the thugs

And even though they sold drugs

They showed a young brother love

From "Dear Mama", a rap song by Tupac Shakur

Motherhood

A loving mother

Unaware, as he is, of his own sorry state the male-mind had the audacity of broaching the understanding of the feminine psyche and its theorizing degenerated into a put down of incomprehension proportions such as: the ludicrous notion of the female's penis envy -that, of course, makes her a lesser self as we have already dealt with .(The actress Sharon Stone, when asked if she suffered from that inconvenience, appropriately responded “I have enough trouble with what I’ve got.”Furthermore,for decades of self-congratulation the deformation of the father permeated psychotherapy under the label of Freud's drive theory, evolving into a monstrous vision of his children succinctly summed up by an illustrious psychoanalyst*:

Expressing these technical discoveries in social terms we can say that the perfectly normal infant is almost completely egocentric, greedy, dirty, violent in temper, destructive in habit, profoundly sexual in purpose, aggrandizing in attitude, devoid of all but the most primitive reality sense, without conscience or moral feeling, whose attitude to society (as represented by the family) is opportunist, inconsiderate, domineering and sadistic. And when we come to consider the criminal type labelled psychopathic it will be apparent that many of these characteristics can under certain circumstances persist into adult life. In fact, judged by adult social standards the normal baby is for all practical purposes a born criminal.

That view handily exonerates the adult, the father and mother, from further scrutiny. If you start with flawed material who is to blame if the results are all not too appetizing? The child suffers because it is bad; the adult is there to make him/her "good". (Quote from Time here.). A view that replicates all over the male-mind state: The citizens (the vast majority) have to be under the survey by a minority (who are "good") in power. Therefore peaceful rebellion against the oppression of the male-mind state is noble. What do I care to be able to vote if I have to half-exist with atrophied emotional and spiritual selves? Would I call the male-mind state a "democracy?" Of course not! In "advanced" cultures we live in proto-democracies, democracy and male mind is an oxymoron. In more primitive ones,well, I rather be born directly in to a herd of elephants, at least they take care of each other under the loving supervision of the matriarch and they can cry when they feel like.

* Edward Glover, quoted by Alice Miller in her book Banished Knowledge

 

 


"Yep, you almost exterminated my species but I hold no rancour.
My and your Maker will take care of settling accounts with you.
Until then, I am happy chewing this blade of grass wishing you peace."

"My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?"

Be it as it may, you are watching the two Holocausts and the Crucifixion in a single shot.

(No brother, your psychochemicals and knowledge of the brain will never "cure" this one. Self Knowledge would -because love happens to be the logical conclusion of Self-Knowledge. Ever thought about that brother? Or are you too transfixed with your self anointed glory, richness and greatness -of which you seem never to have enough to be able to declare yourself satiated- to the point that you have corrupted your mind to mindless detritus Should we change the name of "Planet Earth" to "Planet Wall Street?")
