Wet Dreams: Semen out of Place (SOOP)

Celibacy, seminal retention, castration and Spermatorrhea all come from male-centered cultures and religions. Saving seed/oil/money from spilling and anxiety around wet dreams were also entangled in the cross-cultural need to distinguish dry men from wet women

Re-Visioning the Masculine and Feminine Side of Men and Women

Jung’s rediscovery of alchemical mythology, which uses imagery of the sun and the moon rather than masculine and feminine labels, can free us from cultural gender labelling, potentially restoring the wholeness and creativity embodied in those lights of nature.

The West has a peculiar relation to sexist, patriarchal images in mythology and pop culture. There are ways to see past these metaphors in favor of
identification with the non-dual divine human Spirit.

I recently attended a ceremony on "the healing of money." Immediately a vivid
image popped into my head of a man, vast and muscular, bound to the

differences with respect and kindness.

Postmodernism is not a philosophy with which we may agree or not; it is our condition. We cyborgs, produced through militarism and patriarchal capitalism, are without innocence because we don't deny this; we appropriate these identities in order to take pleasure in the confusion of boundaries.
