Healing
our Womanizing
What shall our model be?
Shall it be that of the Sun, the
light of which enriches the universe with brilliance and life, from the bounty
of the infinite energy that is. The opposite model is that of a black hole in
space, the mythological outcome of a collapsed star that generates so great a
gravity that not the faintest trace of light escapes from it, that is an inward
pulling force, an 'empire' a 'king,' by whose all-consuming gravity life becomes
a void itself.
So, indeed, what shall our model
be? The Universe makes this choice for us. The black hole is a myth, long
believed, dearly cherished, but a myth nevertheless. The
infinite Intelligence that constructs the Universe, is the Universe. Mankind,
being a part of the universe, is a part of this all-harmonizing intelligence
that is sovereign and indivisible. Thus, each person is sovereign, and humanity
is one. We are not divided, isolated, privatized, sexized, categorized, And the
acknowledgement of this sovereignty begins with love, for our boundless and
unbounded humanity, and is fulfilled by love.
One of the great America artists
of the 20th Century, Judy Chicago, needs to be honored here for her pioneering
contribution to healing the isolation of women in society, and of society from
itself. She deserves to be honored here, specifically for her ground-breaking
monumental art work, The Dinner Party,
which puts the mark of hypocrisy on sexual isolation, as no other major artwork
has in our time. Judy Chicago puts the vulva on the plate and says to society,
we are not isolated and divided, except in the small minds filled with hypocrisy.
In one of the chapters of my series
of novel, The
Lodging for the Rose, a wise person likens modern men and women to
individuals living in a vast
flower garden filled with a profusion of delicate colors and amazing shapes, but
with a 'license' that places the entire garden out of focus for life, except
for one single flower. Isn't this scary. For a man to womanize his life more
fully, beyond the absolute minimum, is scary beyond compare. And so it rarely ever happens. The
chapter that explores this paradox, has the title:
Erica's Flower Garden
The chapter is
from the novel, Discovering Love

Erica is the kind of pioneer who aims for the logical ultimate, but remains stuck
nevertheless by the limits of the 'license' that rules, which thereby becomes a
'license' for impotence, a license for isolation, a license for life becoming a
void. Maybe one does need to traverse the vast reaches of
outer space to fully appreciate the wonders we have right here, among us, in us,
and for us, a wonder of light above the stars. That's what the protagonist experiences in a
chapter of a small lead-in novel to the series. The chapter has the title:
Window to the World
The chapter is

Of course one doesn't need to
visit the vast emptiness of outer space to experience the treasure we represent
for one another. This can happen as the 'license' goes out the window when the
world is turned upside down, as in the shadow of a nuclear holocaust, where what
we have remaining of one-another becomes a treasure beyond compare and the
womanizing of the void unfolds in the background. This happens in a chapter of
the lead-in novel for the second section of the series, the chapter:
The sound of a bird woke

The womanizing of ones life that
places the 'license' out of reach, rather than one another, can also be achieved
on a scientific basis, which may require some significant daring even if a
scientific platform for it has been built, as in the chapter:
Sunshine to wake up
to

It appears, by looking into the
pages of history, that the process of womanizing one's life hadn't always been
blocked. Some cultures appear to have worshiped the process. In fact, great
monuments have been built to the theme, as the more than eighty Erotic Temples
built in Kahjuraho in central India, testify, and likewise the great Taj Mahal.
There pertains a chapter to each.
The Erotic Temples of Kahjuraho

In our modern time, in comparison
with our vast mental capability, our living has become rather small, so that the
very thought of womanizing ones life, raises thunderstorms that are had to
still, so that even giant despair and almost break under the pressure. Here
great art can open the door that otherwise seems hopelessly stuck, doors to
houses built with huge windows to the world. In the end, when nothing is easy,
the victory counts for a lot more, that makes the struggles worthwhile. the
chapters that deal with that, are:
Thunderstorms
Goya
The Three Thousand Years War
A Phoenix Rising
The chapters are a
part of the novel, Roses at Dawn in an Ice
Age World
