Hey everyone. So, to close off my Hinduism talks (for now) I wanted to talk about the yoni. Yoni is the female genital organ, what we would call a vagina in English. I know that some people talk about “pussy worship,” but like the Hindus have had religious significance of the Yoni for a long time. Like, I’ve been to a religious ritual where they have a linga, which represents Shiva’s genitalia, but it is always paired with a Yoni. In fact, people even worship the goddess at a temple in Kamarupa where her Yoni is depicted in a cave. The yoni is a common motif in Hinduism, although mostly with Shiva’s linga. (By the way, cool ritual, I will say. It was wonderful to watch at my local temple). But the point of it is not to literally worship vaginas. It’s meant to point to the ability to create life, the ability for a woman to create a living creature inside her body is seen as a divine power, even if, sadly, the male vitality is more appreciated and the bigger focus. But seriously, I recommend checking out your local Hindu temple to see the idol of Shiva’s linga and the goddess’s yoni and getting to see how much these faithful people care for it. But I am just one man who knows a very surface level knowledge about yoni, so I’m open to more viewpoints. But for now, I hope you’re all staying safe and having a great day.

The kid praying to the Phallic symbol of the Shiva linga does not “know” what (s)he is doing, therefore being a pure Yogic incorporation of a symbol in the literal sense of the linga and the image itself, revealing the original meaning of religion as experience of immanence, intimacy, continuity, like a magical ritual, not of any transcendence. The religious prayer instead is an effectless negativity, since it is a sort of grown-up attitude towards a transcendence fostered by guilt facing the divine. Culturally you can for instance witness this by truly hearing the shift in the ingenious music from Mozart to Beethoven, Mozart’s genius being divine like a child even in the deepest moments of his don-juanesque father complex or religious emotion, and Beethoven’s genius striving to be godlike, meaning like god. There the fatal trench was already dug between god and man, and the christian culture could only bear the wound  once more by the mutilated, suffering man on the cross. This was the “romantic” spirit of the 19th century born, the actual perversion where a bourgeois spirit began to rule that was not any more that of noble people like the divine Marquis de Sade. Thus entailing the baneful root for all “mysticism” and (Hegelian) man of work and reconciliation with god that fatally reached deep into the two big world wars, a conflict obviously never really solved as the beginning of the 21st century proves all too well. The musical genius of romantisicm and maybe a promise of its surmounting would be Wagner, following Beethoven and being divine like Mozart. Indeed what connects Mozart and Wagner is the joyful positive superficiality of the true spirituality, in other words the immanence and intimacy of a bodacious offering and sacrifice. Wheras in Mozart’s music this superficiality takes wings, in Wagner it has shoals the unaware is at risk to drown in. Yet both are the composers favored by the oAo and therfore by a thelemic man of a new eon of realization of true will to power (”the Crowned and Conquering Child” in the words of Crowley).
