I first articulated my criticism of the tragic anti-body heritage of Christianity in my wide-ranging and, at times, deeply personal 28,800-word OEN article titled "Fareed Zakaria and Ezra Klein on President Trump's Foreign Policy" (dated March 24, 2025), mentioned above.
But also see my subsequent OEN article "Thomas J. Farrell's Encore on the Tragic Anti-Body Heritage of Christianity" (dated April 29, 2025):
For a deep background study of the tragic anti-body heritage of Christianity, see Stepen Greenblatt's fine book titled The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve (W. W. Norton and Company, 2017).
I discussed Harvard Professor Greenblatt's fine 2017 book in my OEN article titled "Stephen Greenblatt on Adam and Even" (dated August 22, 2018 viewed 1,446 times):
Now, even though I see the anti-body heritage of Christianity as tragic and as something that American men and women today need to combat and counter with body-positivity and sex-positivity, I am well aware that many conservative American Christians today are not yet prepared to combat and counter the tragic anti-body heritage of Christianity. On the contrary, they are prepared to defend the tragic anti-body heritage from what they see negatively as pro-body-positivity messages in American culture today.
In any event, Lynda Carter's male fans who like her big (37") natural boobs may also find that their infatuation with her big (37") boobs may help them work though the liberation of endogamous kinship libido in their psyches that is "married within" to their early childhood image of their own mom's (or mother-figure's) breasts. I have also suggested in some of my OEN articles that American men of a certain age could find it helpful and beneficial to adopt, figuratively speaking, a fantasy mom from mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet and in DVDs - and use their adopted fantasy mom to help them work through the endogamous kinship libido that is "married within" their psyches to the image of their own mom in their psyches from early childhood image of their mom's beasts (or mother-figure's breasts).
Now, the various images of the gloriously beautiful busty (37") young Lynda Carter that I have on display in my home office help me honor the spirit of what Jung referred to as fantasy thinking involving images and associative thinking in his book Symbols of Transformation (pp. 7-33), mentioned above. Jung differentiated fantasy thinking involving images and associative thinking from directed thinking involving logic. To spell out the obvious, I became infatuated with the image of the busty (37") young Lynda Carter's body as I watched her perform in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume on the big-screen television in the living room of my home.
In any event, how appropriate it is for me to display images of the busty (37") young Lynda Carter, who starred as Wonder Woman in the 1970s fantasy television show Wonder Woman, as my way of honoring what Jung referred to as fantasy thinking involving images!
In any event, Ong's massively researched 1958 book Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue: From the Art of Discourse to the Art of Reason (Harvard University Press) is a history of the formal study of logic in our Western cultural history from Aristotle down to the French Renaissance logician and educational reformer and Protestant martyr Peter Ramus (1515-1572). So, yes, what Jung referred to as directed thinking involving logic has a long history in our Western cultural history. No doubt what Jung referred to as directed thinking involving logic is still today the predominant form of thinking in Western culture - despite the popularity of fantasy thinking involving images and associative thinking in the fantasy television series Wonder Woman in the 1970s and, more recently in the popular fantasy television series Game of Thrones (April 17, 2011, to May 19, 2019; 73 episodes) - and in the fantasy skits of the ubiquitous mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet and in DVDs - such as the charming Mandy Flores' many delightful mom-son porn videos that are available free of the internet.
For further discussion of Ong and Jung, see my OEN article titled "Some Reflections on the Work of C. G. Jung and Walter J. Ong" (dated December 28, 2024; viewed 1,210 times):
Now, a further word is in order here about the word "Transformation" in the title of Jung's book Symbols of Transformation. In the 1970s television series Wonder Woman, the busty (37") young Lynda Carter plays the roles of both the stylishly dressed beautiful Diana Prince and Wonder Woman in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume. The transformation of Diana Prince into Wonder Woman involves Diana Prince spinning around. The transformation of Diana Prince involves a flash of bright light and a sound like a thunderclap. In any event, the transformation occurs in a moment. Now, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychological theorist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) wrote about psychological transformation in his 1952 extensively revised and re-titled book Symbols of Transformation second edition, translated by R. F. C. Hull (Princeton University Press, 1967; original work published 1912). However, the psychological transformations that Jung had in mind do not happen if a moment. Rather, when they do happen, they happen over time.
Now, in the fall of 2024, I also published my OEN article titled "John A. Desteian on Love Relationships" (dated September 19, 2024; viewed 1,121 times as of June 7, 2025):
