COITUS OR MAKING LOVE

Ann of Norway "You might consider - Why do all wish to live? ;) Mark" I wasn't considering human beings as the only important element, material, objects, whatever, on this tiny globe of earth I meant ALL living matter, the why, why it wants to live, I cannot think that it is because it wishes further knowledge of life. in a hurry will be back love Ann

Ann of Norway "our true home is a place of bliss and peace that “passeth all understanding”

" SEXUAL !!! Ah I see you have removed that word, or have I seen right? Sexual is a norm-loaded anthropomorphic word, one spurned on by the old prudes of religions as unnatural satisfaction of the desires that in themselves are the desires instigated by natures own pattern of reproduction; it descries the two genders that can in modern times produce offspring. Long ago, in the beginning of life on this planet, there was only bacteria; these in time, reproduced themselves, producing offspring, or mutations of exactly the same form and character, the same genes, identical; as the bees and the ants have still this capacity, producing workers for the hive, or ant heap. When did gender come into it? When cells gathered together, maybe like the primitive cells Arthur Koestler describes in his "The Roots of Coincidence", where running out of food they gather to from an cylindrical shape that can crawl to another area where there is more food, there to divide into individuals again and forage for their own food separately. This gathering of cells developed into a bigger unit of life eventually becoming a society of cells and so on; it is in this time that gender becomes an issue, I don't know much about that: when there became a male and a female, some animals still reproduced themselves and have the male and the feminine within their make up. This led to what we call natural selection, those who were strongest were chosen to reproduce, the best characteristics chosen to carry on our species into the future. Why all this is, the question, why did it go on. As I walked in the woods today my eye was caught by the twisting of two trees around each other, going in an anti-clockwise direction as all trees do in this hemisphere, this motion made me think that all in the world is guided invisibly by the pull of the earths magnetism and that is what is being manifested in these two trees so clearly. Then all like is movement, nothing is ever still, it all revolves, evolves and continues forever doing so. The movement of the DNA spiral is continuous, how beautifully the thoughts fell into one another as if trying to describe to me the reason for life ever going on developing and changing subtlely as it goes, the earth spinning so fast, the waters falling in its atmosphere sinking into the earth and rising again to fall yet again; the ageing of ourselves as we return to the earth where we came from in the first place, it was such a lovely thought and excited me in my discovery of a clearer look at the whole of life (I avoid the word creation as it is too loaded by the religions of the world as it implies some kind of creator). And this bit I wrote to a dear friend on the subject:- OOOO I can see you're not with me here perhaps dear R, I would not wish to stir your faith in a God if he exists, but for me he is a figment of man's imagination, and as such he plays his role, a good roll mostly, but his power does not give him the strength to overcome the nature of the universe which goes on and on quite without the influence of this race we call man, who have been on its surface, earth for so SHORT a time in its history that it is absurd to think of him as anything greater in the scheme of things, than the ant, the bird or the flowers of the field, all made up of the same cells we have come from the same source and will probably go back to that source eventually probably too by some disaster that will swallow this strangely beautiful planet earth as if it never even existed. Amen. Ann.

Ann of Norway Oh what does that stand for Rakshasa, it sounds as if it were a section of a raga and the picture you send of yourself fits that idea with its harmonies and shapes intertwining like love too!!! Love to you from Ann

Ann of Norway WHY LIFE Why do we want to live, the why, the big enormous why, even when in dire pain, we cling to life, even when half dead, we cling to life, when one would think it spent, a relief to fade into a bliss of nothingness far greater tempts our thoughts; the birds and beasts have no religion, they don't think of God, they don't believe they rise again, they have no rod or staff to trust them in their hour of need, so why do we, of self same genes and cells, create our heavens and our hells, when all is clear and simple, we come, we go like driven snow, take part and then depart. Amen.

Ann of Norway But you left out the reason for the write too, the fact that ecstasy of many types is a drug, religion being a potent one too, conning man from studying the important things that concern man here and now on earth, in sanity, where there are no guides and where we have to find our own way, or is that too blasphemous here, I beg your pardons if that is what you feel! Thank you Dale for your nice comment, yours Ann :)

Ann of Norway Yep that's JUST IT; that says it in a nutshell and you have the same feeling about the politicians and all the con men of the world, the so-called authority freaks of society who think they know it all and when asked a pertinent question try to cover it up with long winded rubbish. Yes if there were no religions the differences between us would, in principal be none, and we would feel as one brotherhood on earth, but no man wasn't made to live in peace so it seems sadly. But what a lot of bloodshed and terror has resulted from nearly all the religions of the world, drop them and join hands. I feel like a human in the world and am neither British,nor German, nor Indian, name it, I feel just like one more human being and treat others as such too, I would not die for my country, I might for my closest family, but I don't know! All the patriotism and nationalism l feel are grossly exaggerated and lead to discrimination which I hate, as I have said before I only discriminate against those who themselves discriminate. Vive la liberté. Freedom of speech. However I do not either discriminate those who believe in this or that, they take their own choice and respect that. Phew!!! Thank you Dale for your understanding and comment, yours with love Ann.
