Let Me Out!

Over millenniums of harsh male dominations on Mother Earth, we peculiar and ever inquisitive species endured times in which females showed up very creative; bravo for them, our species is still here! Zoom in on the daze of 2007 to ask, how many times would female and male Earthlings admit to silently screaming ‘let me outta here!’?

Enter Greek literature and its drama. According to reports, Greeks invented a theatrical device, a boom or crane that transported a character off stage to full presence on stage. The character’s purpose? To suddenly appear from ‘on high,’ to intervene in some baffling or seemingly unsolvable difficulty. Once the character’s message was delivered as a kind of salvation in portending matters, the character might have disappeared the same way it arrived: it raptured or ‘rose up’ by way of the crane. How manly! To arrive, issue a message, and up, up and away he goes out into the ethers, shouting heavenward, ‘let me outta here!’

Rapture is a literary and theatrical device par excellence! As a youth in training of all things religious, I wondered how rapture could occur; now I wonder how religious patriarchs in Western monotheism will manifest the prophetic ruse. It boggles one’s mind to imagine the psychical contrivances women (and men) have endured through dismal monotheistic governing in the recent five hundred years.

In spite of injurious retaliations, today women of numerous ethnicities are able to train each other for governing. In ways unbeknownst to us men, and perhaps many women, females are caring for each other; shouting together ‘let me out!’ of the vicious ripples in mindless systems of war training; and shouting to end embedded cycles of physical and mental subjugations of women and children on Planet Earth.

Behind closed doors to save face, religion trained combative patriarchs are probably witnessing first hand some ‘spit in the eye’ while silently screaming ‘let me out!’ From a long history of shrewd warlord collusions between nation states, into a female-male balance of authority, warns the debilitating buddy systems of the hierarchical cycle that can eventually fold in on itself.

If the sciences of nature’s natural cycles alert males to just one thing, it is…

History is a vast early warning system.
