Back to blog after 5 years almost...
The liberation of man has not happened yet. Not only woman, but man also needs a great liberation movement - liberation from the past, from the slavery of life negating values and social conditioning which have been imposed upon mankind by all religions for thousands of years. Priests and politicians have caused a tremendous split in man. They have created a guilt ridden man, who is alienated from himself, fighting a permanent inner conflict between body and soul, matter and mind, materialism and spiritualism, science and religion, man and women, East and West...
Life can be lived in two ways: either as a calculation - in science, technology, mathematics, economics - or as poetry - in art, music, beauty, love.
Every man, from his early childhood, is being conditioned to function and survive in this efficiency-oriented, competitive world, and he joins the ambitious struggle and race for money, success, fame, power, respectability and social status. As a small child he learns to adopt the goals and values of his parents and teachers, priests and politicians, of all vested interests, without ever questioning them. Thus he becomes distracted from his true nature, his original being, and loses the capacity for unmotivated joy, childlike innocence and playful creativity.
He is cut off from his creative potential, his ability to love, his laughter, his lust for life... The way he is brought up by society deadens his body and his senses and makes him insensitive and dead. He loses access to his innate feminine qualities of feeling, gentleness, love and intuition and become a head oriented, efficient unfeeling robot.
Man needs a new psychology to understand himself. And the basic understanding that needs to be deeply imbibed and experienced is that - No man is just man and no woman is just woman; each man is both man and woman, and so is each woman - woman and man.
My vision of the new man is of a rebel, of a man who is in search of his original self, of his original face. A man who is ready to drop all masks, all pretensions, all hypocrisies, and show the world what he, in reality is.
Because to be yourself is the greatest blessing in existence.
