Thanat-eros.

The act of sex is equivalent to spitting the eye of fate.

It is life, defying its death sentence. It is celebration in the face of eventual loss and sorrow. It is closeness and intimacy in spite of the fear and aloofness bred into us by callousness.

This is why sex is sacred, and why it is such an important battlefield with the archons. The archons must control sex to retain their control; this is how they play ape politics with us. Archontic control of sex is the equivalent of "collaring" the entire society.

By "the archons" I assume you mean St. Paul's "spiritual forces of wickedness". If so, would you say that it is the archons who motivate political institutions such as church and government to institute tight controls on sexual expression?

You talking about all sex? Or just sex for procreation here?

I deifnitely feel ilke that as well... although I also feel that the phallus is like a rude little tongue poked out at eternity, or a rude little rocket shooting through infinity, while the vagina *is* infinity and eternity, which is why I don't understand how anyone can relate to having a vagina... and also I think why women often feel defeated and men victorious after sex, because the woman has briefly taken on the role of time and space and been defeated, while for the man, all time and space has briefly become his kingdom. (And that's also why if you deliberately reverse the gender roles during sex, the opposite happens, because it's definitely to do with what you have on the mental/spiritual plane rather than the physical. I literally forget what I've got sometimes :)

I'm not sure if I completely understand you

I don't think sex in any way spits in the face of fate

to embrace sex
or procreation

is to embrace death

to create life
is to create the certainty of death

I agree that celebration can occur
in the face of ultimate destruction

I also agree
that control of something like sex
can quickly be perverted for many social control reasons

but
those saying
that there will be no line
which shall not be crossed

are living in a fantasy world
nearly as unreal as the everlasting hills


the river is life

but
at some point
the river is death
