“Warriors know that the only real energy we possess is a life-bestowing sexual energy.”
― Carlos Castenada, anthropologist, author, shaman
Science is finally beginning to explain why sexual stimulation is so addictive. It’s not so much the five to ten seconds of stratospheric joy we experience with orgasm as it is about the sense of euphoria we feel when we are “in love.” That euphoria has a chemical basis. Sexual arousal induces the human pituitary gland and hypothalamus to release 20 different hormones called endorphins. Endorphins attach to what scientists call opioid receptors, which in turn cause the release of another hormone, one we are all well aware of in this day and age: dopamine, a natural chemical that affects us as powerful as heroin.
It’s dopamine that causes runner’s high, and that makes dancing and sports thrilling. It’s also dopamine that causes crowds at football games to behave in ridiculous ways, screaming and cheering and jumping up and down. It’s dopamine that induces religious fervor and causes churchgoers to do otherworldly things: talking in tongues, handling snakes, and believing they are possessed by spirits. It’s because of dopamine that drugs make us feel good in the first place. Drugs induce bursts of dopamine in our brains.
And the most powerful natural releaser of dopamine? Anything to do with sexual arousal. And it is not orgasm that releases the dopamine; it’s the build-up. Once a person orgasms, dopamine production is over. But when we are teased with sexual arousal, or arousal is held in a suspended state, the individual experiences a continued release of dopamine similar to being on Fentanyl.
This phenomenon of dopamine and “love” is the most primordial manifestation of the divinity of femineity. Sexual love is the most powerful mechanism for releasing dopamine. And sexual love is about femineity.
Every person on Earth, no matter their biological sex or gender orientation, focuses on feminality and the allure and fascination it holds for us. While their religions and leaders may seek to repress the primacy of Woman, all cultures on Earth adorn women and/or men in a way that emphasizes feminality. Art and music focus on the veneration of femininity more so than on any other facet of being human.
It is no accident that precious treasures have always been precious metals, gems, and perfumes, the currency of romantic love and feminality. Nor that one of the three richest people on Earth is France’s Bernard Arnault, the chief executive of LVMH, the French multinational conglomerate that dominates female fashion.
This pan-human artistic appreciation for all that is feminine and the sexual tension that imbues that appreciation is more than evidence that God is female: it is an irrefutable manifestation of the natural order. It simply is.
While the modes of worshipping the World’s five masculine religions are most often onerous and aversive and must be forced on adherents with real and imagined threats of fire and brimstone, worshipping feminality is as natural as breathing. It elicits pleasure. It summons the most dopamine-inducing state that a human being can naturally attain. Sexually expressing the appreciation for feminality is ecstatic and blissful. This was Olisha’s message. And her laws teach us how to evoke sexual pleasure in our partner in such a way as to realign them to adore us and to focus their sexual pleasure on Her, God, and on constructive behavior that She intended us to practice, reinforcing the coherence of the family and hence the harmonious survival of the species.
