Part IV

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

     In Part I, Huxley’s Eyes, I showed the Structural Psychology of the Male.  I hope I made the consequences of the X and y chromosomes clear.

     In our day the drive by women is to establish the notion that the differences between the sexes are superficial or cosmetic rather than substantial and genetic.  The notion began to have an effect on society in the late nineteenth century.  The consequences for society have been disastrous.  H.G. Wells may not have known to what he was referring in his autobiography of 1934 when he says that of the nineties:  In those gentle days before the return toward primitive violence begam…

     Edgar Allan Poe may be considered to be a presage of that return.  The return toward primitive violence is now nearly complete.  At the bottom the cause of this primitive violence which women claim to abhor is Woman’s refusal to either accept or understand her Structural Psychology.  She refuses to acknowledge

The Female role in relation to the Male in an attempt to create some fantasy in which she is actually dual sexual enjoying the best of both sexes while avoiding the worst of the Male.

     Before the evolution of sexuality at some time in the past there existed a unisexual organism that contained all four chromosomes, XXXy.  This notion was well understood in ancient times.  Although sexual identity began long before the evolution of man the ancients understood that the first organism must have been unisexual and male in character.  They didn’t know that the y chromosome was the reason but they did know that the first organism logically had to have a male identity.

     Thus before either the egg or chicken there existed a unisexual organism of a male character.  The y chromosome is the essence of the matter.

     When sexual identity evolved, as there were three X chromosomes and only one y chromosome, of necessity one sex received two Xs and one an X and a y.  The y like it or not is the critical chromosome.  It is what the female lacks and misses.  It is what makes the male intellectually and physically dominant.

     This was recognized in Greek mythology as after the subordination of Hera to Zeus she acknowledged his physical superiority and what Homer refers to as his mind of infinite power.  Hera was left with physical inferiority and a low intellectual cunning to achieve her ends.

     As above, so below.

     Just as the X side of the body is weaker and more passive so the Female with a double X is smaller and less assertive.  This is not to say less significant or important.  The species cannot exist without all four chromosomes.  The y chromosome is not deteriorating and on the verge of extinction as some emasculates claim.  Indeed, as the animal mother of the race Woman has a significance out of proportion to her share of the division of sexual spoils.

     Because the sexual division of spoils has denied the Female the very powerful y chromosome she has a longing for it to complete herself.  This was expressed in ancient times by the female adoration of the bull and then the horse.  Sigmund Freud picked this up in his usual smutty sexual way by characterizing the longing as Penis Envy which while

it gratified his vanity rather missed the point.  Nevertheless he was correct.  On a brainstem level the Female recognizes her incompleteness.

    While the Male clothes his Anima with Female role models, the Female clothes both her X chromosomes with Female role models of two different types; a passive feminine set for the Anima and an aggressive male oriented for the Animus.  The longing for the Male rests between the two.

     Now, while the Female has been denied the y chromosome she has been gifted with the ability to give birth to a man child or son.  Hence the ancient symbol of the Great Mother seated on the Throne beholding the Son in her lap while the Father stands ineffectually behind her gazing down.  This scene is replicated in the birth of Jesus, the Savior of Man, in the manger or eating trough.

     It is a shame that the present day refuses to understand the significance of the story of Christ for the psychic well being of mankind.  The avant garde among us have now passed to the Scientific Consciousness and the way of the future but the main body is still mired in the Religious Consciousness.

     Just as Evolution is replicated in the development of the physical organism so one must replicate the evolutionary development of consciousness in the individual.  To cut out any part or parts is to do oneself irreparable damage.  One should learn to separate the symbols from the scourge of human religious and political activities.

     There never was a single person killed in the name of Christ, blasphemers merely used the name to cover their own vile passions.  Bear in mind that neither Polarion nor myself are nominal Christians.  We hold no brief for Churches.  We just know where to look for the sun shining through the clouds.

     While Evolution has denied the Female physical strength and aggression it has awarded her the Throne on which society rests.  She has the power to make or break her men.

     Several adages which are not taken as seriously as

page 3.

they should be attest to this fact.  It is said that a man’s wife is his luck.  Nothing could be truer.  As another adage says:  Behind every successful man stands a woman.  Thus the character of a man’s wife will either build him up and push him forward or drag him down and push him under.  It can equally be said that behind every failure stands a woman.  that woman will be the man’s mother or her reflection that he married.

     Women since Wells’ ‘gentle days’ fail to recognize their dual role.  They tend to see themselves only in the positive light with no negatives.

     So it is in the matter of her son.  The true role of the Mother is as ‘cow-eyed’ Hera.  Now, in the myth of Heracles and Eurystheus the ancient Greeks make this abundantly clear.  The Matriarchal Heracles as consort of Hera must have represented the perfect symbiotical relationship between man and woman.  The Sun blesses the Earth and the Earth bursts forth in productivity.  The Patriarchate turned Hera into Heracles’ enemy.  In the Patriarchal myth Hera blessed Eurystheus and cursed Heracles.  Indeed when Heracles was a little, tiny baby Hera sent two snakes to kill him in the cradle.  Cut ahead to to Jesus in the manger when Herod decreed the death of the firstborn.  To show the power of the Patriarchy over the Matriarchy the sweet baby Heracles strangled a snake in each hand.

     The power of the Matriarchy was in no way nullified.  In ‘Hera and Poe’ I indicated that the longer a mother nurses a child the better his chances of success in life.  Indeed, the act of early weaning may have a profound negative effect on the child with or without abandonment.  The very act of weaing may be interpreted by the mind of the boy child as rejection.

     So with the Mother’s blessing Hera’s favorite, Eurystheus was a weak chicken livered man who dominated both society and Heracles while Heracles the strongest and best man who ever lived was relegated to a role of dependency and the frustration of his superior abilities because of the animosity of the Mother.  The most powerfull Male figure in the universe couldn’t rescue him from this ignominy.

     Hera achieved this end even though she was physically weaker and intellectually inferior to her lord, Zeus, through mere cunning.

page 4.

     Heracles was indentured to the weak Eurystheus for whom he was compelled to perform twelve of the most impossible labors imaginable.  Each one would have been enough to baffle an ordinary man.

     After completing the first labor he reported back to Eurystheus who was so terrified in Heracles’ presence that he retreated into a bronze vessel half buried in the Earth which represents the womb of the Great Mother.  Thus the Mother’s influence is such as to make a despicable man rule and make an admirable man serve.

     So, if it is true that behind every successful man is his mother it is also true that behind every axe murderer is his mother.  It may be said that the Hand That Rocks The Cradle makes or wrecks the world.  Check out the story of Ma Barker.

     The last problem is the crux of the period from ‘those gentle days’ before the return of primitive violence to these latter days when primitive violence rules.

     Woman complains about the claimed increasing violence of men toward women.   Women’s solution is to punish men for their lack of ‘respect’ for women.  Actually the increasing violence is caused by women’s lack of respect for both themselves and their sons.

     If only the rules of Structural Psychology were applied women would undoubtedly be better mothers; but women have been given very active brains that function on the everyday level as well as those of men.  In fact, since women are more single minded because of their child bearing faculty their brains may function better on the everyday level.  However on the speculative or creative or scientific level Structural Psychology favors the Male.

     Moreover her intelligence makes the Female unsatisfied with her role as perpetuator of the species.  She want all that belongs to the female and because of what Freud called Penis Envy all that appertains to the Male.   You begin to see what either the possession or lack of the potent y chromosome means.

     Because of both her child bearing capabilities and her inferior size in relation to the Male Woman has acquired a superior will characterized by low cunning.  Unfortunately for her undisciplined intelligence and will to thwart her role as Mother of the Species she chafes at the responsibility of motherhood.

     In the case of Huxley his mother willfully rejected him to start her girl’s school.  In both Huxley’s and Poe’s cases the death of their mothers was unpreventable but disastrous  to them and the women associated with them by the nature of things.  In Ted Bundy’s case his mother willfully abandoned him giving him to his grandparents to rear.  Speck’s mother denied him everything.

     The result in all these cases was disastrous.  Huxley sought out a woman who would allow herself to be persecuted for his mother’s sins; Poe was driven mad while it is almost certain judging from his writings that he became a killer of women; in Bundy’s case there is no doubt he avenged his mother’s abandonment of him on dozens of young women; Speck uncorked one day to slaughter a number of girls; not only girls but nurses who are known as ‘angels of mercy.’  Would Speck have murdered them if his mother hadn’t betrayed her role as an ‘angel of mercy?’  Look for the symbolism.

     Women condemn these acts as representative of the Male character but they are not representative of the Male character; they are the result of unavoidable disruptions in the mother/son relationships: of Huxley and Poe and the completely avoidable disruptions in the cases of Bundy and Speck.

     If Bundy’s mother had been stronger in resisting her seducer or had accepted the consequences of her weakness by keeping her son with her it is a certain fact that Ted Bundy would never have killed those girls.

     The number of mutilators, stranglers and serial killers seems to increase on a daily basis.  Women demand more jails and tougher punishment to stem this rising tide of brutality against women because of ‘horrid men.’

     I suggest that because of the high divorce rate, day care schools and the number of unwed mothers that the crimes against women will continue to escalate.  What has been done in the past few decades cannot be undone.  Domestic violence will in all probability continue to increase as sons visit their maternal resentment on their wives, daughters and other women.

     Unless educated to the reason for their rage they will never know why they are reacting as they do nor will they be able to control or change their actions.  Nor, are they any more responsible for their actions which arise from Structural Psychology of the brainstem than their mothers.

     Whether the female of the species likes it or not the fault lies with them more than with their sons.  A well nurtured son of a loving mother will seldom if ever visit violence on women.

    The Hand That Rocks The Cradle can either build or wreck the world.  What’s it going to be, Mom?
