Semen Theory [...]

Once in my 20's I dropped acid at home while my family was on vacation. I think every time I do acid my mind contorts into an amorphous unwieldy shape, and it's like an alchemical experiment where I'm both the experimenter and experimentation.

Back in those days, I was still on mostly good terms with my neighborhood. I was basically a king figure for the kids. They congregated on my lawn like flamingos and I became like the King Raccoon Prince of Bullberry. It was very nice but of course they were just kooky kids and so given my long term degeneration, I eventually fell out of grace. But I remember being high as heaven on acid this one summer day and biking around trying to de-pickle my mind. For there was something that had crept up inside me. One of the kids, Rachel, I suddenly saw stick her little balloon head out of a passing car, shouting hello to me. I was touched but the oval shape and her small little kid's body, combined with the acid degeneration eroding my psyche, made me instantly think we are all little sperms booping fruitlessly around and unsuccessfully trying to inseminate the divine anus. And such thoughts under those conditions tend to be Very Traumatic Business I tell you—

But that terrifying spiritual insight impressed upon me. Putting aside my psychedelic drug abuse for one moment, a cosmic sperm theory seems to have some bastardsome reality.

Now the thing is that the anatomical sperm cell is encased in SEMEN which is issued from a PEEPEE in order to meet a VAGINA EGG. This of course is the main biological premise informing the sperm theory, but now as a transposed ontology conceiving the sperm as a metaphysical structure preceding a cosmic human system. 

Well, at the time I believed that I had to break through a spiritual threshold or perish. And our current society certainly nurtures a competitive sort of sperm race in social relations. But the thing is that I believe the sperm form a collective organism— that is they are a sub-organism derived from the individual human whose cells produced them. Working together they seek, through the sexual magnetism of the ovum, to reunite with what is only a seemingly separate body, within the uterine homeland. However, this article talks about how eggs discriminate between different sperms. Trying to fit the egg into a semen theory is another thing— the human body may resemble a sperm, while its egg archetype may take on more metaphorical form. Only in uniting with something whole do we become truly creative and engaged in the flow of life. Or some such hippie shit.

The strange thing is though, that we are semen. We are all the semen of Christ and Buddha and the great Sages. We must flow together in order to see and become with the Egg. The great ovulating eternal life.....

 

Um....... 

Concept of Alien

The concept of alien otherness has existed since time immemorial. But not until humans developed a science fiction sense of the universe (without getting into ancient alien shit) did we invent the idea of 'Aliens' as another humanoid originating from another place in the galaxy. I can't trace the idea/experience of alien visitation throughout human history, but at least in the past few centuries with the advent of modern astronomy the possibility has become increasingly open to speculation. Ancient Greek and Jainist philosophers, among others, discussed it long ago. I'm sure when any human from any pre-industrial era from any culture anywhere on the earth looked up at the sky they felt eyes staring back, whether only in the recesses of the deep psyche. 

But it begs the question of what 'alien' is. Alien is defined by otherness, so can't we all be aliens? Naturally, an intragalactic encounter would send shockwaves within humanity that'd alter our existence forever. But if the only reason we are alien to one another is dislocation within the field of pure Nature then any cosmic species would be our family - although that thought can easily be contested. If spacetime is only an inflection with mind and vice versa then our being is connected to any other on whatever side of the galaxy. That of course is a very bold statement to make for life can occur independently with no organic relation to other crops of life. (Hence ALIEN the MOVIE, EVIL GRASSHOPPER SCORPION RACE)

Yet when you realize our actual experience, of cosmic loneliness and the desolation that reigns over this earth, you begin to perhaps see the earth as a patchwork of many alien worlds. Especially in this day and age, when the human tree's roots have been hacked from the Old Mother. 

The diversity of subjectivity and florescence of experience brings us over and over to the experience of alienness and yet undercurrents of communion. Yet without speculating on the thing of alienation from Nature and our animal and plant kin, there is a radical break between us and the other beings on this earth. I sometimes stare back into my cat's eyes and I see a strange, strange creature. The wild minds of this earth. Finding their own niches. Working together, falling apart, singing jungle songs, prairie songs, desert songs, forest songs, mountain songs, tundra songs. Oy! What a crazy world!
