Such finished human being is frozen as the reflection of its supposed transcendent origin of BEING: God or Eternal Spirit or Transcendent Reality or Universal Law. So let's look at the human foundation, both in terms of the rise of the species and its present condition, and trace its journey into bondage and freedom in accordance with my previous statement that what we are interested in is not primarily beliefs, but a more direct conscious engagement with reality.

Look at your body. From your feet to your crown there is nothing in your body that is itself conscious. Your feet are alive, but they are not conscious. Consciousness is aware of them, but they are not aware of themselves. Your sex is alive, but it is not conscious. Your eyes are alive, but they are not conscious. The venerated crown of your skull is alive, but it is not conscious. Likewise look at the non-conscious psyche. Dreams and all other forms of the psyche are alive, but they are not conscious. Consciousness is aware of them, but they are not aware of themselves. Only consciousness is aware of them and only consciousness is aware of itself. Your non-conscious body and psyche are potential consciousness. Consciousness is not in the body and it is not in the psyche. Where is it? It is its own place within the fusion of opposites, but this place is not a separately existing transcendent prior reality. It does not precede the universe of the opposites. It is a new reality created by the fusion of the non-conscious opposites of body and psyche. It is body and psyche fused into a new reality. This new reality does not leave body and psyche behind and separate into transcendence. This new reality, consciousness, is body and psyche themselves transformed through fusion. There is only transformation, there is no separating transcendence. This fact will be crucially important when we look at the question of death.
The Betrayal of the Feminine
I am a true defender and champion of the Feminine and I am going to describe for you the source of the history-long degrading of the Feminine. And I will tell you that women are just as much to blame for this degrading as men are. And women, on the whole, may be even more frightened by the real Feminine than men are.
Consciousness is not material, but it is also not psyche. Consciousness is not conscious psyche as opposed to non-conscious psyche though that is a widely believed fallacy. Consciousness that has not evolved far enough to see through this fallacy thinks that it is the same as psyche, the same as mind. This leads to the betrayal of the material, the feminine, and the illusion of mental salvation which is the illusion of all spiritual mystical philosophy.
Primitive humans, that is, humans in the infancy stage of consciousness, learned to be afraid of the material universe because of the material experience of mortality in all its detailed terrors and horrors. This consciousness groped toward the psychic realities for security because these realities seemed to be immune from mortality. This is an illusion of short-sightedness. They are not immune from mortality. But they seem to be. And so infant consciousness, in fear, identified with and began to cling to psychic reality in preference to material reality. The invisible forces that come to consciousness in the form of non-material imagery, imagery that is not seen by the material eyes, but is seen by consciousness as psychic forms, seems to infant consciousness to be immune to all of the fearful characteristics of mortality of the material universe. And we know beyond question that the material world of 'Nature' was and is associated in human history with the Feminine. Women being child-bearers is associated with growth in Nature and with death in Nature. And we know that the non-material realities are associated with the Masculine. The most powerful and transcendent Gods have always been masculine. The non-material goddesses have always been more materially oriented than the gods. My basic point is that the Feminine is historically associated with the material and the Masculine is associated with the non-material and the non-material is seen as superior to the material because it is seemingly not subject to the terrors of mortality. The Feminine equals darkness and death and the Masculine equals light and life, that is, as avoidance of mortality.
Now of course there are exceptions to what I am describing here, but these exceptions do not arise because what I am saying is not accurate, but rather because this attitude is unstable because it covers up an underlying fallacy. This fallacy is that the psychic is superior to the material. And this fallacy has created all of the major religions and the major spiritual philosophies. To this day, it is a cultural belief that the psychic masculine is superior to the material feminine. And the contemporary feminists are some of the most ardent believers in this fallacy. They push for so-called equal rights for women, but that doesn't mean they are pushing for equality in consciousness for the Feminine. One of the clearest signs of this is the push in feminism for Academic sanctioning. Feminists demand to be recognized by Academic intelligentsia as equals. They demand to be recognized by the Political arena as equals and the Financial arena as equals. And finally they demand to be recognized by the Religious and Spiritual institutions as equals within the defining categories of those institutions. The Virgin Mary that was proclaimed by Catholic dogma to be ascended into heaven is a spiritual entity and not an earth entity. The dogma was in fact an affirmation of the continuing dominance of the spiritual/masculine. The feminists who are elevated in Academia are elevated as intellectuals and never as what I am referring to as witches. And in addition to all this these institutions are molded on the false masculine model. They are not even genuinely masculine, let alone open to true femininity. They are built on the betrayal of the real masculine by the fake masculine that is bent on the destruction of the Feminine aspect of reality which will lead in turn to its own destruction. It is an aspect of nihilism.
We don't need more zombie females to go along with the hordes of zombie males. We don't need more female academics, more female politicians, more female CEO's and bankers. We need females who are genuinely feminine and know innately how to relate to the genuine masculine. Do you know what genuine females are? They are witches and sibyls who have insects and mice and spiders and snakes and stone and wood and metal and water running through their veins. They are women who are at home in all aspects of the earth and the material universe. They are women who know that they are beautiful merely by virtue of the fact that they are earth-born. They don't need the blessing of any decadent fashion standard. The whole history of feminine beauty in our civilization is based on the biased and fear-based movement toward a frozen mathematical symmetry that moves into the non-material realms of super-refined and sterile psyche. The material is only beautiful in our culture when it reflects a frozen mathematical symmetry that has no earth life in it. The faces of Nefertiti and Elizabeth Taylor are beautiful, as opposed to ugly, because they are a frozen symmetry that transcends the material. Witches see through this lie. They are not lonely vacuous creatures waiting to be validated by a false man or by another such woman. They are women validated by being earth-born. Women who carry the moon and the sun in their eyes. Women who are not afraid of death in the earth and the return to life in the earth. They are women who create earth magic more powerful than any academia or government or economic system. They are women who know they are the fulfillment of the true masculine and will not bend a knee before the false masculine or the false feminine. They are women who know what real women are and what real men need which is an open abyss where lightning can freely flash. An endless space where creativity can freely unroll. They are women who know that it is their destiny to become one with the masculine and ecstatically die into the new reality of consciousness. They are witches who don't care if you find them appealing or attractive.
And let me tell you what the coming journey of this witch is.
She will go into those remote domains of refined Psyche where biased consciousness focuses itself, where sit enthroned the Spiritual Saints of history. I am telling you that there literally are conscious human entities who have in life on earth and then in death focused their consciousness exclusively on psychic realities and entered the most remote realms of refined psyche and rooted themselves there. These entities see themselves as, and are seen by much of humanity as, saved, fulfilled, enlightened beings. Saints. But this is an illusion based on the belief that psyche, unlike soma, is immortal. It is not immortal. It is only one half of what is needed for immortality. The wicked witch will eventually find her way in there and bring that heavenly crystal palace down with her vulgar curse. She will reveal the reality of the psychic corpse, psychic rot, psychic waste material, the psychic walking dead, the psychic cemetery, the psychic hell. We need to end the religious and philosophical fallacy of the superiority and self-sufficiency of the spiritual or psychic. It is blocking our real growth.
We also need to end the fallacy that our somatic bodies can survive in a healthy way on earth without accepting and embracing that all the life levels under us making our foundation of earth life are part of our own evolution. We cannot evolve without the proper evolution of all life on earth and of the so-called inanimate realities as well. We can't just kill off all the life forms and inanimate forms that are a threat to our norms. Their lives are the roots of our lives. If they go, we go.
We need real witches who know that you can't kill off your own living material foundation and survive. We don't need high technology rational materialist doctors trying to kill off ever-strengthening and resistant cancer cells and bacteria and viruses and other micro realities upon which we stand. We need real witches who know how to redirect these living things into paths of genuine evolution. We can't survive as somatic bodies on this planet unless we develop the proper relationship with all of the life levels under us. We do not exist separate from minerals and microbes and insects. And do you really understand that when green forests appeared on earth over a hundred million years ago that was a major step in the emergence of your consciousness rooted in these somatic bodies that are reading this article?
And we need real witches for something else that is coming. I have seen this in the realms of Masculine wizard vision. And all real witches will confirm this: the Super Entomic world is coming. Insects. Insects are the most perfectly adapting creature in the history of this planet and when the coming mergence of archetypal opposites sets in there will be an explosion of insect evolution that will shake the gates and walls of human civilization. You won't be able kill them off without destroying yourself. We will need real witches and wizards to guide them onto the proper evolution path. This may sound like it is just material for sci-fi horror films that grown-up people don't take seriously, but I couldn't be more serious.
