Scientific reductionism and psychological behaviorism would have us believe we're nothing more than stimulus/response machines with no spirit, no life spark ... that sex is simply a matter hormones and biological urges running the show. The image of the world we've been given is one of sin. The image of ourselves that has been impressed upon us over and over again is one of insignificance, fallibility, weakness, and corruption.
Gender, Patriarchy & Sexual Mind Control takes a long hard look at how generations of deliberate social and sexual programming have obliterated humanity's awareness of our spiritual nature, skewing our perceptions of sex from the heights of bliss and energetic union into negative, self-destructive pathways filled with perversion, shame, and confusion.
It compares the Western oppositional, conflict-ridden view of life typified by the "Battle of the Sexes" with the Chinese philosophy of yinyang, which presents a coherent picture of nature and mind as a constant, harmonious, dynamic balance, and it reawakens the reader to the energetic fluid nature of life as revealed by quantum physics. Indeed, the book points out that biology, ultimately, really isn't biology. It's energy. And if we don't talk about biology and sex in terms of energy, we're simply pawns being manipulated into a dangerously limited and false reality.
From the occult understanding of the Hieros Gamos and the sacred marriage of opposites to the myth of the temptation of Eve, the fall of the Goddess religions and the rise of patriarchy three thousand years ago, from Puritanism and the esoteric origins of celibacy to the modern trans movement, the book explains how we have come to be so confused and divided over the most basic of biological realities, guiding the reader back to sanity and wholeness ... and ultimately sexual health and freedom.
