Hypocrisy

Update: Somebody just commented anonymously, that 'this blog is not about spirituality'. Well...all I can say to that person is *kiss my @$$*.

Moving on---

I received some hostile comments on my last post (Psychosis or Transcendence) recently, comments that have been deleted. This post is inspired by these comments.

Two people had problems focusing on the text of the post, and got fixated on the accompanying image which has mild nudity(The Cosmic Dancer). This happened although the image fits perfectly with the text of the post.

Many people---their unevolved emotional worlds cannot see the difference between art and porn. They have way too many sexual hangups.

The sexual hangup is a cross cultural phenomenon, it exists in every culture, at every socio-economic level. You will find this hangup in the ghettos of an orthodox Indian town, you will find this hangup in the uppermost echelons of New Delhi. You will find this hangup in the royal circles of London, you will find this hangup in the snobbish circles of New York. You name a place, and this hangup will be there.

Please note that I am not talking about movie stars, playboy models and the like. They are a different breed altogether although they come from all kinds of backgrounds and socio-economic levels. They get used to things like nudity, although even they are not totally free of hangups. I know this for sure, having studied many pornstars and movie actresses, through their interviews. Their hangups are less intense, but are very much there.

The 'sexually liberated person' is VERY VERY rare. The ones who come across as sexually liberated are (most probably) pretending. I have seen some people who are actually liberated, but it is very rare.

M. Scott Peck, reknowned psychiatrist, who's theories are taught at many good universities all over the world, writes in his book, 'The Road Less Travelled'....

[Paraphrased]: "Sex is a problem for Jane. Sex is a problem for John. Sex is a problem for the husband, sex is a problem for the wife. Sex is a problem for everyone, including Scott Peck."

(I don't have the book with me right now, hence the paraphrase.)

Here are some examples of Indian hypocrisy. Indians pray to a naked Kali (an Indian goddess who is naked most of the time!) in temples, but these people will drive you crazy with their sexual orthodoxy and sexual hypocrisy. They cannot handle the strong emotions generated by sexual issues/nudity and create havoc, destroy when stimulated.

For example--recently, Hindu fundamentalists went on a rampage in an Indian town named Lucknow...because they were against Indian girls wearing jeans & trousers in public.

Although secretly the same men love seeing women in tight clothes, jeans etc...hypocrites.

The same problem exists everywhere. For example, a girl I know was telling me that girls in her community, somewhere in the United States of America, are not allowed to wear jeans or tight clothes...now...I highly doubt that men in that american community do not like seeing women in tight clothes! She was also telling me that women in her community are not allowed to watch 'HBO' because it has 'dirty Hollywood movies'.

These are not examples of 'decent people imposing bans on indecent people', this is ALL nonsense, all hypocrisy.

Somebody might say that people belonging to upper socio-economic echelons are in general casual and cool about sexual issues and nudity. This is incorrect. They pretend to be casual and cool. They are NOT casual and cool, on the inside!

The playboy model or the movie actress who takes her clothes off on camera is NOT sexually liberated. She is just "BOLD".

Pornstars are also NOT liberated, sexually! Just very very "BOLD"!

The surprising thing is that my other post with nudity--the one on 'Sadomasochism, Nurture and Love' that I posted 15 days back--did not attract bizarre comments--although it carried no warnings--- though I have changed that now, it is hidden like the cosmic dancer in 'Psychosis or Transcendence' is hidden.
