Those rapists have forced us into clothing than does not fit us.   Indeed, they dress us according to their profit motive instead of looking at our needs.   This is why we have such intense issues with alienation in this day and age.   We don't know who we are.   Thus, perhaps we need to take a serious look at who we are and where we come from.

 

Maybe it's time we reclaimed the sacredness of erotic dances such as belly and striptease.   In their origin, these dances were sometimes called the "Dance of the Seven Veils".   If you take the Seven Veils as layers of consciousness, perhaps we can stand nude in our Source of Origin?   At this point, perhaps instead of externalized government and industry telling us who we are, perhaps we should stand nude of all that and be who we are.   Is this possibly the way back to Eden?   What if the "curse" of Genesis can be reversed?   No man to rule over us".either as women or the inner world of the Psyche.   Will this be the time that the New Jerusalem (Place of Peace) descends to Her Bridegroom (Humanity) and Peace reigns as Queen?   Perhaps the unfolding of this Peace begins nowhere but within yourself?
