Tales Of Inhibition

“This one is an expert on tales or stories from every major civilization.” “Are you saying that he would know of fairy tales from earth?” “Well yours is not ranked as a major civilization but he does have an impressive mental collection you may want to ask.” I, consternation overdosed: “What do you mean we are not a major civilization?” Adriana, lit another cigarette and threw the match at my face, I flinched avoiding what was not going to happen. She replied. “Well its like this, every stellar group has its own method of measuring that category but we base ours on candle power, the more candles a civilization burns the more powerful the civilization. Energy consumption, not conservation, is a sign of a true civilization. Your civilization scores one or two books of matches.” I said to her: “Well I have heard a similar theory on earth and there I thought it equally stupid, so its nice to see that stupidity is evenly distributed through out the universe.” She said, “Sorry I wasn’t out to hurt your feelings chap.” “Hurt my feelings no, then why have you nothing good to say about my planet, I presume that just the fact that we can communicate is a sign that we are some what advanced, and you are wasting your time kidnapping us so there must be something there.” Adriana, placed the cigarette in her mouth, crossed her arms, then using only her lips to hold the cigarette in place she begun to inhale and release smoke, she mumbled: “Sorry chap, are you going to ask the story teller anything?” “I wanted to argue with her some more and so I leaned towards her but then hesitating I sarcastically said: Yes I want the story teller to tell me about Snow White and the seven dwarfs.”

But I should have known better for having said that the story teller begun to speak as one that has much to tell and is running out of willing ears. The fellow commenced as if explaining the primitive rituals of a dead society. I repeat it to you verbatim.

In story the correlation to real life is phenomenal if we attempt not to deceive ourselves and dare to ignore normal, accepted thought processes. In Snow White and the seven dwarfs we have a fascinating account of the horrors of life, of its cruel reality. Here we find an astonishing parallel with the more popular story of the garden of Eden, red apple harbors all that can destroy a good, a happy life. In both the character that delivers the apple uses evil power to change into the forms of a snake or an old woman, in both the poor naive victim was a woman, and at last, in both salvation is possible through the return of a handsome prince who will either kiss and awake her or, dash from the heavens to remove all evil from the earth. The sad difference appears here. Snow White's nostalgic cry was that someday her prince would come, when, was an unknown but he did, and we know he did, and we are told that after the kiss of love they lived happily ever after. In the other story the ending is inconclusive, humanity still waits for the equivalent of this prince which is God. He will come and rescue humanity from the wicked spell but they wait for his return which is by far the cruelest form punishment.

The similarities of these stories are not that fantastic they were both written by humans which are obsessed with the idea of good, evil and salvation. But there is always more behind fairy tales and so it is with Snow White. The key characters are two women: the Wicked Queen and Snow White. They of course represent the two popular forces in their rarest purity, one is all good and the other is completely bad, reform school would not help either of these girls. The two also happen to be the most powerful characters, so the task of the story is to pit these two minds against each other and in the end the most resourceful as well as cunning will win! The men in the story are represented as what they are in real social life, jolly working dwarfs that haven’t got much of a clue of the dynamic forces at work on society and find meaning and happiness with the feminine. An assassin that while cruel always gives in to the whims of every woman, and then there is the prince which is the least real or possible of the characters, a charming fellow possessing all of the wonderful qualities that a men would possess if a woman could have complete control of the design phase. This last is a most peculiar character in the sense that most story book characters usually represent a real life character but the Prince can not exist outside of the feminine fantasy so he is more real in story form that he could ever be in real life while exactly the opposite is true of the other characters they are more real in the real world than in the story.

Here it helps to remember what they taught us in school about social destiny on earth. The history of the feminine there is that of psychological, emotional evolution. The history of the masculine is that of physical, material evolution. Snow White of course is all good, precious little darling incapable of harming anyone, sensitive, sweet, full of pretentious fear, oh, and so beautiful that even the wisest dwarf of all, Grumpy will fall under her influence. And on the other corner weighing all that is evil is the Wicked Witch Queen. She is a mature woman, implying that she has lost some of her power to manipulate the masculine. A severe case of menopause is forcing her to attempt to regain her beauty, a potent tool to control the masculine, and barring the possibility of regaining youth then a woman can still make her self desirable by being the only one left. The assumption being that men will sleep with anything and in a world without Snow White certainly the Wicked Queen would be able to upstage most farm animals.

Up front it would appear that the Wicked Witch Queen is less inhibited, more willing to do what it takes to achieve her aims than Snow White, but as you will see Snow White merely understands how important it is to appear naive. At her side the Wicked Queen has magic poisons and evil, but the power of evil was exaggerated in the bible, because it benefited certain important people, and so too here. The Wicked Queen decides that no one which is better looking, in other words more powerful than her should exist, so Snow White is thrown from the kingdom and summarily sentence to death. And what is wrong with that? Only a pure idiot would want someone better than they to exist! The Wicked Queen is merely manifesting the human desire to be the best and most powerful, something which even their supreme being, God can relate to, for we were told that when an angel tried to be like God he excommunicated him and sentence him to burn in hell. But honesty is never well accepted so the Wicked Queen gets a bad reputation and she is not even a whore!

Snow White escapes her destiny with death by acting like the most gentle creature in the forest. Her executioner, conquered by the feminine force of psychologically powerful supplications and feigned weakness, drops his knife and knees to the ground which raced a few tears. This fragile porcelain Snow White queen of good intentions dashes through the night covered forest and through her vivid imagination makes it a ghost and monster town. Tormented by her fears and her thoughts she drops to the ground in the most mellow dramatic fashion a body has ever known. Then she unleashes a storm of cries and tears engineered to command the pity of the wildest beast in the forest. You see Snow White doesn't really care about anybody but Snow White; never mind that it is night time and that many of the creatures of the forest are trying to sleep while still others are stalking their prey, never mind that she is quite overdressed and over perfumed for the occasion. In fact the girls red lipstick and the make up on her cheeks make her so unnatural that if the forest could have ran away it would have. For sure the girl’s reeking perfume would overcome any lion’s or bear’s nostrils destroying the scent of any prey. Simply there is just nothing more unholy than Snow White on this side of the Milky Way.

But we do have to give her credit for she, for sure a virgin, perhaps taught by the success of the Virgin Mary that held out for God, she understood the importance of abstinence. This is because any woman possessed with the knowledge of the power of good, understands the power virginity has upon males, and it is with great humor that good of such kind is most powerful only as long as it remains Untouched! This is perhaps the most intriguing aspect of earthly myths, power produce through the process of deprivation. And so it was that even the uneducated observer could tell the Wicked Queen had been spoiled by many men, her face was as if every male had left a footprint upon it.

I have not ignored the possibility rumored by many scholars that Snow White really slept and satisfied the sexual perversities of the dwarfs. No doubt that as a healthy woman Snow White must have hallucinated of using her supple red lips, and of surrendering to the constant seduction played out by the Dwarfs; but she also must have understood that the power of fantasy, and indeed the power of inhibition, depends critically on its non existence, on its not occurring! Certainly, smart woman that she was, she could see how the power of God had been magnified many times but his refusal to demonstrated, and now by his refusal to return. In a cruel sense an all mighty God would be less powerful if he existed.

It is a tantalizing power that exist as long as it doesn't exist, again a God like power! Even so how tempting it must have been, for having such perfection, such beauty, possessing that urging magnetic energy which could beacon from a far, many men and even a nonexistent, distant Prince. Yes, a bomb longing, anxiously to explode. And that is precisely why the story ends when the prince carries the burning fire, seductive lust into the sunset... To live happily ever after... ! A sequel to this can only dissatisfy, because when the bomb explodes it ceases to have power, it is no longer a bomb, no one fears it or worships it, the bomb lives only as a promise, its power ends when it manifest's itself!

So Snow White gave herself to a prince and they did not Live happily ever after because after the horse ride, the tale ends and they begin to live a normal life. And "Sleeping Beauty" a title which is synonymous with "Ultimate Weapon" is not out of range here. These earthly stories tell little girls of the importance of virginity, of sanctity, as that of the Virgin Mary who’s purity and ambition didn’t just get her a prince but a God, though she did live a rather normal life after that going to funerals and stuff like that.

These human tales promote physical or, the now more widely practiced, psychological virginity. Their intent ironically, and unexpected, is to direct and generate masculine energy. This is not without some unpleasant side effects such as rape and prostitution. The seven dwarfs released their chained frustration trough labor and by committing the monstrous barbarity of killing the poor Wicked Witch! Now I would like to tell you why the stupid Dwarfs killed her, because they did not pause to imagine a world without the Wicked Queen Witch, a world void of checks and balances, a world held hostage by Snow White!!! In such a world the feminine may brutalize the masculine... He will have to slay dragons, attack lions, urge the charge of bulls, and prove his bravery by fighting duels against his own kind, and not without reason for she loves jewels!!! Ever wonder why on earth the feminine does not fight wars, why she does not conquer, why she is deprived, perhaps that’s related to the fact that societies there do not let their kings, presidents or politicians fight the wars they start.

The stupid handsome Prince could not rest until he presumably rescued Ms, White from an eternal grave. And it may yet come to light that humanity would have been better off if Snow White had been buried, deep beneath the earth to suffocate while she slept!! Anyway, the story really goes: …with pity by her side the poor innocent girl storms into the forest, commands the animals, and breaks into a house. All the animals help her clean this house, as she sings about some handsome prince - while holding the broom as if it were a staff. The males, appropriately, seven Dwarfs are so taken by her, let us say instead, charmed by her beauty, that it disables their brains and so they let her reign their house. She even gets to sleep in their beds while they, willingly sleep in the most conceivably uncomfortable of places.

Typical of the male they become oblivious to reason and decide to care and protect Snow White who needs about as much protection as a Saber Tooth Tiger in a hen house. But the virgin, is a powerful feminine in less than 36 hours she escapes from the Wicked Queen’s grasp, disarms her would be killer, assumes control of the forest and its animals; and drafts an army of Dwarfs by launching a ruthless character assassination campaign, worthy of the best of politicians, against the Wicked Queen Witch. The seven volunteers moved by her tale offer to provide food, shelter, and protection. And what exactly does Miss fragile have to do for all this? Well she has to be desirable but untouchable, bake berry pies and clean house. Does the girl know how to bargain or what!

We have then two feminine characters using males to achieve their goals. But The Wicked Queen’s strategy appears to be failing and this causes her to loose faith in the capacity of mere men to finish a task against the opposing feminine. This is in accord with other observations made by our social anthropologist on Earth, which do attribute a more active participation in action, to a more mature feminine. Its almost as if the men were getting more in the way of their plans rather than helping them. So the Wicked Witch Queen, assumes the guise of old lady and with bad Apples in hand, out into the forest she goes. Snow White, like Eve, is incapable of resisting the metaphorical Apple which grants all wishes, which in both cases was really sex. Yes, simple basic sex! Eve seduced Adam, that was the forbidden fruit, the forbidden fruit once bitten takes away the power. Obviously the Witch knew this a few times better than most.

I have this feeling that the earthly cynical God only has two questions before he permits humans into heaven: To the men he asks how many women did you have copulate with? To the women, how many men did you resist? And for both the higher the number the closer to heaven. And now what does Snow White wish for when she bites the Apple: A Prince! What does a girl who has everything want a prince for? For sex of course!

Now the question has to be asked: Did the Wicked Queen Witch deceive Snow White when she told her that if she bit the Apple all her dreams would come true? Of course not! Think about it...

…the girl could sleep forever that is according to the magic potion book, and if a girl could sleep forever she could dream many possible dreams, and Snow White could do a little mathematics. But her real intent was not to sleep, she was just not so naïve, so she bit the Apple! But right before that first bite Snow White deliberately made one wish aloud: She wanted a handsome prince, then she silently made two more: She wished that the Wicked Witch be murdered by the seven Dwarfs and that she be allowed to sleep through it all as innocence...

...and all of her wishes came true.


Well at last a fellow that had some good humor in his bones. I mean all of these ideas flowing through this incredible insane asylum were fantastic but I needed some popcorn or some candy and this guy may have just said something as profound as all the others, but at least he was fun about it. Of course if he was correct then women were in control of the world and this was so against popular belief that his humor had power. Snow White in bondage would seem like and appropriate sequel to the first tale. And if this story teller was correct then it made sense to throw virgins into the mouth of the volcano. By throwing the virgins into angry volcano’s we were telling the gods we will roll over and surrender, here is our most powerful force, we will give her to you, here is the one force that can harm you, we will not defend ourselves, throwing the virgin into the volcano is putting down your weapons before the angry gods, it is telling the lava gods we will jeopardize our future to appease you, for a virgin is the social and reproductive future of the clan.

Adriana looked at me, said nothing, looked at me as if saying to herself something humorous, and her smile was beautiful, there was no doubt that now I was in love with her and that in some way these truths were bonding our relationship, at the end had to be marriage and children.

The goal of love of the self leads to catastrophic ends for the masculine, fundamental nature is feminine, so the male that seeks to love himself is really seeking to love what is feminine in him, which is only half of what he is, a man can never by himself be whole, he is made whole by the feminine!

In a world where parents are known to kill the first born if it is a female. the irony is that males, all of them want to be females, to have the ability to reject! The masculine drive to power is to be in a position to reject the feminine, The homosexual act to love a man is to be a female, buggery allows males to feel penetrated which is an act of allowing, all men because of their love of woman are homosexuals, not because they love men but because they love woman! Man is fatally in love with what is woman, but it is difficult to properly love what one worships, and more difficult when the object of ones worship is not conscientious of its deity status. The male desire can not be satisfied, woman will never give her love unconditionally, the love a woman has for a men is the love given to a half sister, men is half woman and the male half makes him a mutant. We could fix this situation by castrating the masculine to neutralize his maleness but this produces even more abnormal maleness, incapable of reproduction, or of an erection, the thing becomes a pure concept, the sex change is merely apparent, that thing never is anyone. The part of himself that male loves is the part of himself that is woman, the X chromosome, a male attempts to love himself whole via a sex change, cut the Y . Yet it is the small part of men that is male that allows him to maintain psychological stability, cut your penis off you are still not a women.

I shall at this point make something very clear and that is that I place women in three very specific categories:

Wife/Passion: Makes demands on everything regardless of cost. This type knows herself and what she wants, will control her environment, does the most to form the what is core social structure, marriage to her is most likely to last. A wife can cause a mans heart to bleed and he must be to some degree insensitive, and act like he is not bleeding. Insensitive males like lawyers, jocks and movie stars will do well with her, sensitive and weak males will fall victim to her savageness.

Nurse/Compassion: Wants and needs a man to cure. A nurse has a bleeding heart, she believes the wounded can be healed but she could never really love a healthy man, she needs someone that is ill but that. with her touch will also shows signs of recovery. This type will always want to heal the wounded heart. anarchist and artist types can be found cohabiting with her soul.

Mother/Companion: Will forgive all. Mother of course is the least sexual of the three, she will love a man as she would love a child, unconditionally, he can fail her in every way, to the point of outright betrayal, and he can be hideous and most pathetic, but her love will be undaunted. Mother does not need a man of heart she loves because she can do nothing else. politicians, scientist and egomaniacs are most comfortable here.

Now you, the reader might ask which woman am I? Or being male what categories define male character? By my standards men have no category of their own for man are ultimately the conditional product of a women’s desires. Man evolve based on those desires and if you have a problem with that answer go hang yourself!

It is logical and even true that because of female power we live in a misogynist world. Man against woman, and woman against woman, seduce the myth. This explains male insensitivity, males have to be insensitive so as to tolerate the feminine, a male with a high level of sensitivity recognizing his own sterility, turns into an artist, artist are as closest a man can feel like a woman, unfortunately this leads to attacks from both sides, not male enough for a woman, not male enough to communicate with man, in the end perhaps this makes the artist more creative, but only with delusions.

To remain in control women must remain a mystery, a closed box, the masculine is fatally curious he wants the box broken, Snow White equals rape! The war between the sexes ended long ago, before the enlightenment, before Greek Tragedy, men suffered the conditional surrender, eternal subservience to woman.

You may ask and why woman against woman? Well because ultimately a woman can also abuse another woman and this is actually very common, this leads many woman to struggle against each-other which leads to woman that love men that hate woman. But we must never forget that in a secret reality women love women more than they love men and it is the part that is women in man that women most love and it is the part in man that is man that women find most disturbing.

We passed a woman that seemed to be perpetually crying, she was crocheting what appeared to be a gorgeous sweater, I asked Adriana to tell me of her. “Around these parts she is known as the wife because her husband apparently displeased with her simplicity of character sent her away. she still wears her wedding ring, she had had an injury to her wedding finger and so it has been all bandaged up, and her wedding ring is now in the finger next to it, symbolism perhaps catering to individual desire, here she is, separated, with her ringless wounded wedding finger, ringed by a bandaged, telling more than she would tell us. Interestingly she is one that does imitations of others, of famous and common people. She is quite good at it for she is such a perfectionist that she reproduces physical as well as emotional attributes with an accuracy that makes her the identical twin of her subjects. Her fame reaches far and wide and the newspapers accurately claim that her impersonations reach such detail, as to make her able to think the thoughts of her impersonations. One can hardly doubt this for she is a mirror to any image, but while all this is amazing, and to some degree disturbing, it is more paradoxically terrifying that even as she does these wonderful and perfect impersonations, everyone still knows who she is. A little girl that is said to know her well tells us that she also does impersonations of people who do impersonations, and that she impersonates them with all their imperfections and of course, everyone can tell whom they are even as we only see the impersonation.”

We came upon another woman that was dressed very much as a man and she was behind a podium, pontificating, blasting away obscenities with pump, oomph and fury! Pounding her fist, screaming a defense or attack on morality, here was justice we were about to be introduced to the concept of what is right. A trial in progress…
