Fantasia of the Unconscious Summary
| I am not a proper archaeologist nor an anthropologist nor an ethnologist. I am no "scholar" of any sort. But I am very grateful to scholars for their sound work. I have found hints, suggestions for what I say here in all kinds of scholarly books, from the Yoga and Plato and St. John the Evangel and the early Greek philosophers like Herakleitos down to Fraser and his "Golden Bough," and even Freud and Frobenius. Even then I only remember hints--and I proceed by intuition. This leaves you quite free to dismiss the whole wordy mass of revolting nonsense, without a qualm. |

Man the doer, the knower, the original in being is he the lord of life? Or is the woman, the great Mother, who bore us from the womb of love, is she the supreme Goddess? The decay of the so-called "sexual revolution" today is an affirmation of Lawrence's theory of sexuality. Lawrence was most definitely a godfather of the 20th Century sexual revolution. In practice, the sexual revolution is or was a revolt against the depressing notion that our lives, controlled by growing governments and threatened by nuclear annihilation, are pre-ordained. Free will is just an empty metaphor inside this realm. The sexual revolution unleashed a potent rebellious impulse that contradicted the anxiousness of freedom-less reality.
