A Boy's Citadel

A World before Time : III

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little boys don't like girls. The impulse that he relies on to see the world, understand it and grow in the knowledge is in the same bundle as the excitation caused by girls. He experiences it in his mind and inquires into its relevance in his young life. The little girls are on the other hand, the picture of poetry that is seeking to blossom into the promises they feel. It is as much mind but they draw that into their passions for a greater function than simply thinking.

 

I'm probably alone with this but I'll risk it anyway  ... reproduction brings a considerable relation to the mind and while the mind of man is perceived to build great cities and skyscrapers, the mind of a woman brings into physical manifestation a life in the form of a human. It may alter her experience of the physical on account of it. In that, her role and use of mind is unique but all that science has brought to us about mind is simply calisthenics and ignores its power to create life.

 

Such a latent power exists in all minds and on occasion the male stumbles into a strange place in his experience and realizes the awesome nature of mind as experienced by women. However where she had experienced it as simply childbirth, the man, can by the engagement of inferences and studies, broaden that perception to the creation of the world and the universe.

 

But before he learns to do that, he is as an instrument in her thoughts as she wonders about the greater potential of the feminine experience. Her curiosities lead her to many places, much of which has contributed to the joys of life in the world with no other purpose than to do so. A man less schooled is likely to think that it implies a wantonness and is on reflection a complete waste of time.

 

The way that she recruits the man to understand her mysteries often starts with a bang ... not quite big bang ... but a destruction of all that he had known before. Thereafter he commences to learn anew and to affirm the knowledge he is brought to as being as much his volition as is inspired by her.

 

But the boy, in his early and pristine experience of himself, where he found in himself something not found in the father or anyplace on earth, is a little hard to convince on the mysterious relation between the genders. He remains the proverbial ' light of youth ' in eternity. He epitomizes the qualities of suspicion, mystery and wonder that we feel about the universe and ourselves always.

That spoke to me on such a profound level. It's kinda a engima isnt it.

Our experiences are common with everybody else. However they take place at times different from each other hence the feeling of the personal nature. My view is that its both personal and generic and depends on how we respond to it.
