2. Monogamy / Marriage
1. Childhood Abstinence ~X~ 3. Post Monogamy / Promiscuity
4. Emotional Affairs / Transitional Relationships
Let's look at another one of my models. Circular maturation. When we are children we are sexually pure. We were all tops, starting on the wheel of life the first "Ideal" prepares us for the assent into "Marriage." Ideally from virgins we are sanctified for becoming uncorrupted "Parents." Anything past a personal history of monogamy implies an adultery, a non-monogamy. I know this sounds like B.S. but bear with me just a little longer. From the top of the wheel we turn again downward. We mature to an almost inevitable state of non-monogamy. Maturation can always be seen as a decline into a lower energy state. Post marital divorce almost always precedes 2nd marriages, however now days most of us lost our virginity before marriage. <Promiscuity is by definition any sexual contact with more than one other person.> This obviously can't be the end. We reach the bottom of the cycle only prepared to take on a new beginning with the ability to "love" many people emotionally, even without attachment. Maturation does seem to involve new capacities for a "love " that can again be pure, and it is generally not sexual. Unlike a supposed "one " true love, Emotional Affairs are almost always transitional in nature. Many of the most profound love relations are of this purely friend type.
Just like with our models for "STYLES OF EVASION" Apr 25th, "Some People Are Very Different"and the so called "WHEEL OF OBJECTIFICATION" May 26th, "Mirroring and Empathy (Subjective Boundary Definitions)"; we can see a circularly rotational symmetry with a kind of angular momentum. I say the meta formal nature of this model for maturation is implicite in our religions, no matter how arbitrary and out dated it is. Point being that growing old is not without it's perks, the most obvious is the ability to love and start over again even if it is as a wiser and more realistic person. New History anyone?
I like to use language as my own personal toy, a creative entertainment medium, just like me. Gently, respectfully I grow a new language from the genes of the old. Growing into a new history, that's a good thing. Everyone lives their own new history when we forgive and or forget. Choosing what we are going to make out of our personal history is often a key to freewill. This is not an original idea. We do not need to be just an echo, parroting scripts dumped on us. Monkey may see, monkey may do, but just because a monkey can quote Plato doesn't necessarily mean he can understand it, or even know that Plato may have intended his philosophy to just be prevaricating B.S., just to make the point that people can be told anything, pro or con. Plato himself was brilliant, but who knows if he even believed his own arguments. Words can be arranged to just be for fun. Wanna play?
