A fun way to work for world peace

Postby teamdaemon » Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:18 am

So I've been struggling to stay positive in the face of the impending election recently, and I thought that other people might benefit from a pleasant distraction that is also a healthy and productive way of spending energy.

http://aypsite.org/TantraDirectory.html

This site has great yoga lessons as well, and you should really read them before you get into the tantra lessons so you can understand the basics. I'm posting the tantra link, though, because I feel like more people would meditate and practice yoga if they knew that it could help them have better sex. As far as world peace goes, there is an interesting site called globalorgasm.org that says we can all work together for world peace by telling as many people as possible to all have an orgasm at the same time. This idea has obvious connections to both the global consciousness project (noosphere.princeton.edu/) and Dean Radin's ideas put forward in the book Entangled Minds.

So even if you don't believe in all that new age consciousness junk, feel free to read about how to have a better orgasm for your own sake.

(cue Hugh Manatee Wins telling us that we should think about the CIA trafficking heroin and not about having better sex :fingerwag:)

Ya know, this might work. You're like a bizarro world Dr. Strangelove explaining the mine survival plan to my Buck Turgid.

You're not the first to think that better orgasms might lead to world peace.



Theories

Reich first presented the principles of his vegetotherapy in a paper on “Psychic contact and vegetative current” in August 1934 at the 13th International Congress of Psychoanalysis at Lucerne, Switzerland, and went on to develop the technique between 1935 and 1940.

Reich developed a theory that the ability to feel sexual love depended on a physical ability to make love with what he called “orgastic potency”. He attempted to measure the male orgasm, noting that four distinct phases occurred physiologically: first, the psychosexual build-up or tension; second, the tumescence of the penis, with an accompanying “charge”, which Reich measured electrically; third, an electrical discharge at the moment of orgasm; and fourth, the relaxation of the penis. He believed the force that he measured was a distinct type of energy present in all life forms and later called it “orgone”.[22]

He was a prolific writer for psychoanalytic journals in Europe. Originally, psychoanalysis was focused on the treatment of neurotic symptoms. Reich's Character Analysis was a major step in the development of what today would be called “ego psychology”. In Reich's view, a person's entire character, not only individual symptoms, could be looked at and treated as a neurotic phenomenon. The book also introduced Reich's theory of “body armoring”. He argued that unreleased psychosexual energy could produce actual physical blocks within muscles and organs, and that these act as a “body armor”, preventing the release of the energy. An orgasm was one way to break through the armor. These ideas developed into a general theory of the importance of a healthy sex life to overall well-being, a theory compatible with Freud's views.

Reich agreed with Freud that sexual development was the origin of mental illness. They both believed that most psychological states were dictated by unconscious processes; that infant sexuality develops early but is repressed, and that this has important consequences for mental health. At that time a Marxist (see article Freudo-Marxism), Reich argued that the source of sexual repression was bourgeois morality and the socio-economic structures that produced it. As sexual repression was the cause of the neuroses, the best cure would be to have an active, guilt-free sex life. He argued that such a liberation could come about only through a morality not imposed by a repressive economic structure.[23] In 1928, he joined the Austrian Communist Party and founded the Socialist Association for Sexual Counseling and Research, which organized counseling centers for workers — in contrast to Freud, who was perceived as treating only the bourgeoisie.

Reich used touch to accompany the talking cure, taking an active role in sessions, feeling his patients' chests to check their breathing, repositioning their bodies, and sometimes requiring them to remove their clothes, so that men were treated wearing shorts and women in bra and panties. These methods caused a split between Reich and the rest of the psychoanalytic community.

I further propose, and presume you will concur, that chemical yogas can facilitate your plan.

Chemical yogas certainly can help facilitate globally synchronized orgasms. For better orgasms on an individual basis, however, I would suggest plant yogas. Especially cannabis. Plants are more reliable, easier to identify, and don't require industrial apparatus to manufacture :D

Nice, thanks.

I'm feeling that money and admin and news and bullshit takes up far too much of my time at the moment, this came along at exactly the right time (what with my having booked my first yoga class for this coming Thursday...)

Then again, things come along at the right time, don't they?
