What Our Self-Blinding Societies Fail To See:
You Can't Know What You’ve Lost When It's Gone
Some books alter the way you view the world forever. The Black Goddess and the Sixth Sense
by Peter Redgrove demonstrates the inherent selective blindness of
modern Humanity, and shows how things that are repressed – symbolised by
the ‘dark senses’ and the hidden female forces that shape the world –
are rising to balance human vision once again.
Redgrove paints breathtaking pictures of the modern mindscape in
relation to the myths of Oedipus and the Sphinx and shows how, like
Oedipus, self-blinding, self-mutilating patriarchies have led humans to
believe they are the end-point of evolution, having solved all
‘important’ mysteries. Historically, this view has led to very real
‘end points’ of another nature entirely.
These deeply embedded and psychically active symbologies also indicate
how warrior religions overturned earlier, widespread, more homogenous
cultures all over the world, which were more in tune with their
environment – cultures which had day-to-day access to the self-evident
‘mysteries’ were systematically eradicated and subsumed by more
violently aggressive groups. The conquerors had numbed their true
‘sensuous perceptions’ by alienating the sexes from each other and their
senses from themselves, in their daily habits and taboos.
This schism in the species is slowly being healed from within,
according to Redgrove, by the sublime senses and supersenses that we
have submerged – but fortunately have been incapable of eradicating.
He explores the multi-channeled communications systems of nature, many
of which we are still rediscovering in ourselves and other species.
His elegantly flowing prose illuminates a living planet aswarm with
multifaceted symphonies that surround and interpenetrate all of us. He
takes us swimming through a dazzling spectrum of sensory modes, pointing
out;
“There are more than seventy octaves of electromagnetic radiation, and
the human being acknowledges the visibility of less than one octave,
our sight being cramped, as it were, between the red and the violet;
the colour of our arterial and intravenous blood.” Sight itself takes
up about eighty percent of ‘normal’ sensory brain function; like
Oedipus, ‘civilised’ humanity has been blinding itself to the bulk of
information that’s always been bombarding and informing us. Our
immature worldviews have relegated most of the actual universe to the
status of the peripheral and unimportant – and yet we are not
‘naturally’ blind to these vast forces and energies that surround and
interpenetrate us; we have deliberately blinded ourselves to any
so-called anomalies that don’t fit into the arbitrary jigsaw puzzles of
our religious beliefs and pseudo-scientific dogmas.
Redgrove – co-author with Penelope Shuttle of the widely-acclaimed Wise Wound,
that deals with the rediscovery of the rhythms of the female body –
describes studies of animal intelligence and the sophisticated
versatility of animal communication forms, touching on the nature of
instinct as an agency of the multi-channeled life force of Gaia, our
living planet.
He claims modern humans have willingly separated themselves from much
of their environment, consciously acknowledging only a tiny portion of
reality.
Visual, audible, tactile, infrared, chemical and electromagnetic
sensitivity are discussed and explored as modes of perception and
communication – an example being the ‘external hormones’ or pheromones
which allow communication between humans, other animals, insects and
plants – even across species, phylum and order boundaries.
“The chemical constituents of animal and plant hormones, sex
pheromones and messenger systems in plants and animals are all closely
similar. This is why, for instance, the pig responds to the truffle –
the latter emits a sex odour-chemical almost identical to the pig’s
own; and why you find human insulin in a common bacterium.” There is a
near-universal communications system continually functioning between
all plants and animals, and one which humans are implicately involved
within at all times – yet this ‘hidden, dark’ mode of seemingly
extra-sensory communication, that determines many of our actions and
reactions, remains almost totally unacknowledged and unexplored.
The
Taoist and Tantric schools of knowledge - which were actively
investigating these and other vitally important levels of reality and
consciousness for millennia - were all destroyed by self-blinded
militarists and unquestioning religions. The numbed conquerors feared
any deep investigations of the self, seeing sex and sensuous reality as a
threat to their domination and control of the womb and society.
This
continues to the present day with the persecution and destruction of
groups such as the followers of Rajneesh/Osho, the spiritual
practitioners of Falun Gong, Tantra, shamanism and ‘new age’ explorers
of all hues. Instead we prop up the pernicious fantasies of pathological
liars, supporting pedophile religionists and destructive money-mad
technologists with our precious time and energy. As a result we have
misplaced more than mere access to our supersenses and sensitivities; we
have alienated Humanity from itself by driving impermeable wedges
between female and male, child and adult, emotion and intellect, self
and other.
Humans
have cut ourselves off from our ability to consciously control our own
fertility and we do not allow ourselves or our children to see or hear
vital subtle aspects of reality always perceived by our native cousins
and ancestors, who evolved detailed descriptions and sciences of the
unseen. The implications and realities of deep empathy and even
telepathy are ignored as inadmissible data, despite the fact that
everyone experiences these things all the time; we’ve all been carefully
taught to ignore obvious truths and to mimic the emperor’s love of
invisible clothes, and his immature desire for superfluous gewgaws.
Chimpanzees
don’t copy useless or superfluous behaviours; they only mimic things
that appeal to their common sense and fit into their societies without
disrupting or destroying them. Yet ‘more evolved modern’ humans engage
in self-destructive behaviour and copy pointless and even painful
fashions and activities without question. We
fail to see that we share the world with a myriad of unseen forces and
entities while we fill our children’s open minds with lies about the
Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, Gentle Jesus and Wise Mohammed and the Angel
Moron(i) - that inevitably lead innocents to distrust their elders and
become cynical materialists, denying their inner awarenesses of the
unknown.
Modern processes of education and training also automatically blind
children to the unexplained, unacknowledged realities they see and feel
all the time. Each generation puts out the eyes of the next to arrest
evolution and humans maintain their shuffling stumble through darkness,
wondering where the light we all knew and faithfully followed as
children has gone. All
alterations to the perfected temple of the human body are suspect.
Genital mutilation has literally cut humans off from their supersenses
while numbing the species’ feelings and emotions. We have mutilated our
bodies and our minds to fit into a sterile, desert-making hierarchical
pyramid kingdom of blind termites, in which the one-eyed obsessive
always manages to remain King.
From the healing of warts and cancers by hypnosis and the nature of
the immune system, to the human effects of modern mass communications,
and insect antennae being morphically tuned to the electromagnetic
spectrum, The Black Goddess and the Sixth Sense is a goldmine of
interconnected facts and scientific revelations. For instance, keratin
– a common protein found in your hair and nails – is piezoelectric. It
actually generates electricity – and radio waves – under
pressure, or, for instance, when long hair is waving in the wind or
moving. We literally cut off a multileveled mode of communication when
we cut ourselves off from our hair.
“Gases containing free-flowing organic materials, like pheromones, are
especially voracious of infra-red and microwaves, and the organic
molecules will re-radiate this energy that is poured into them, although
it will be transformed by the vibratory system of the particular
molecule.” The radio waves generated by our hair cause our pheromones to
fluoresce in the ultraviolet range, making our ‘auras’ glow just at
the edge of our accepted perceptions.
Pheromones are a form of chemical communications transmitted from most
of your body, passing through us as hormones and traveling between
almost all species as aerial pheromones. Pheromone receptors are found
wherever we have mucous membranes and these substances are passed into
and through us from all other lifeforms. Modern drugs and cosmetics mute
and conceal these substances and serve to further cut us off from each
other and the living world, while blocking our pores and receptors. As
every young child knows, your hair and nails are integral and
important components of a whole, unsullied being.
Science is coming to tentative explanations of such concepts as auras
and the existence of aspects of an underlying morphogenetic field or
collective consciousness, and researcher have found ways to actually
detect such fields within the well-known electromagnetic spectrum. “One
view of atomic structure is that matter itself is like an interference
pattern between waves… matter is a particular form of
electromagnetism…”
The ‘onlooker’ or ‘spectator’ consciousness prevalent in the Western
paradigm and science from Aristotle to today is reviewed by Redgrove. It
is compared with such self-integrating concepts as Chi and Feng-shui
from ancient China - and other cultures more aware of the “radiant
continuum” of life than our ‘modern scientific’ viewpoint, with its
blinkered attempts to monopolise knowledge into a simplistic, dead-end
materialistic coffin.
In our pursuit of knowledge we have been led inexorably toward
recognition of ‘invisible’ forces. In our denial of the sensuous
invisibles we create invisible terrors, due to the blind spots we
refuse and fear to see and the numb places we refuse and fear to feel. The Black Goddess
shows how culturally implanted anti-sensual isolation and guilt has
led to the repression of our supersenses, magical belief systems and
even non-abstract Romantic and representational art and music. All
apparently ‘acausal’ phenomena are tidily and fixedly ignored in the
inaccurately neat Aristotelian worldview, whose denizens ignore their
imaginations and therefore ignore an organ of perception into unknown realms. From
this deep pit of sublimation, the ‘Black Goddess’ of our suppressed
nature rises all-pervasive; like the Sphinx, She is a mediatrix who can
reconcile apparent opposites into a fused complementary whole, freeing
females and males, humans and animals, intellect and emotion from their
unreal abstractions of each other.
We populate the unknown with programmed fears and mythological angels
wielding flaming swords that bar us from the Paradise that surrounds
us - instead of exploring the dark, ‘subconscious’ realms of our world
with unrecognised senses and supersenses already tailored to its
infinite depths. Darkness is not an absence, not the enemy of the
light; it is its palpable, unexplored complement.
The Black Goddess and the Sixth Sense is a book destined to radically change the perceptions and beliefs of any who read it.
Your
parents and grandparents were happy and satisfied to be lied to by
those who still get away with stealing the wealth and knowledge of the
Earth (and everywhere else) for themselves – are you?
