This hypothesis focuses on the idea that several of Freud’s theories teetered on the edge of divulging one of the oldest and best kept secrets ever devised by man and his kind.
Freud was off to a good start in that he ‘contemplated’ the riddle of femininity in the first place. Yet, I believe, his practical reasoning was deeply flawed insofar as femininity, or for that matter effeminacy, has no modern history with which to psychoanalyze. The concept of femininity in its original form belongs to Goddess worship, which was slowly cannibalized following the introduction of all male priesthoods centered on a dominate One Male Father God. Thus, after thirty-three centuries of having the meat picked from its bones, the illusive nature of modern femininity cannot (as it once was) be analyzed as a stand alone natural property of the human condition.
As a self-reproducing genetic property, femininity is deeply ingrained in the physiological and psychological prehistory make-up of both human sexes. Interestingly our prehistoric chromosomes perform a genetic act or drama which cannot be seen by the naked eye but is nonetheless indicative of primal myths where a duel natured matriarchal goddess is seen self-creating or morphing herself, and, the male species into existence. First the (simplified) battle between the chromosomes X & Y:
The genesis of X is traceable by at least 100,000 years
before Y.
Y. Hank Chen in his 2005 essay “The Human Y Chromosome”[ii] presents a disturbing outcome for the human male, “The Y chromosome is the shortest chromosome in humans, and most of the Y chromosome is believed to be made of junk DNA. In the 1960s, Ohno proposed that the human Y chromosome is a profoundly degenerated X chromosome with very few genes on it encoding male-specific features and some began to speculate that the continued degradation of the Y chromosome might result in the extinction of the human male.”
Adding to the subject of Y chromosomes, Dr. Graves concludes an equally dire outcome for the male race, “The human Y chromosome has lost 1,393 of its 1,438 original genes over the course of its existence. With a rate of genetic loss of 4.6 genes per million years, the Y chromosome may potentially lose complete function within the next 10 million years.”[i
Females like their double XX chromosomes are nature’s self-contained life sustaining vessels through which genetics continue to alter the human playing field. By all appearance ‘Mother Nature’ has stacked the deck of ultimate survival towards the female species. And if Dr. Ohno is correct that man derives from “junk DNA” collected by a degenerated X, this would infer that Y is the creation of XXX, who gave of her body so Y could form and live. Thus contrary to religious orthodoxy; it was the female who created and gave life to the male, not the other way around.
Fortunate for the little ‘Y’ their matriarch host is compelled, even to her own detriment or demise, too nurture and protect Her creation. It is by natures integral design that the female, in any of its many forms; be it chromosomes, genes, the cobra, the bovine, the hippo, the crocodile, the buzzard, the lioness, or mere mortal women, are all innately hardwired to simultaneously deal with ‘two opposing truths ’:
1. Little ‘Y’ (son) cannot survive without her.
2. In its own struggle to survive, the mature Y (father) threatens the female existence.
Chromosome/Ancient Egypt
XX / Symbolic of the duel mother goddess, the matriarch, the queen, self-creator, giver of life and death, ancient two ladies, two crowns, two thrones, two lands, two feathers…
XX is a host for Y, thus Y began life as a son of XX / the “first male god” on earth arrived during the
Bovidian era in the form of a “Son”. The Egyptian’s would later call him Horus
“The Son of Hathor/Sekhmet.” Y needs XX to survive. / Horus
the child is shown dependant on Hathor from the womb and back too the womb.
XX gene cannot be altered, manipulated or challenged by the
male Y. / No male god or mortal, had the ability to
challenge the duel Mother Hathor/Sekhmet. X doubled itself for the preservation girls only. / Nature and myth suggest that of the two human species the
female’s self-contained regenerative abilities make her a primary candidate for
ultimate survival. Such a mythical scenario is played out in God Hathor’s
bloody attack on man and his kind (mankind) the very perpetrators of the insult
which threatened an object of Mother’s creation and love. Even the almighty Re,
who was supposedly self-created, also worshiped Hathor as his Great Mother.
Thus it was man, not woman, who faced the first mythical wrath of God.
In a likewise manner, women are
not seen to be judged in tombs, the Two Halls of Ma’at, or for that matter
anywhere. This suggests they either had no after life, which we can clearly see
they did, or they weren’t subjected to the same trials and tribulations as men
simply because as ‘females’ they were thought to be holy fragmentations or
daughters of the mother goddess. In fact, when reviewing myths from all
cultures it is plain to see the female species were considered the highest
judges and greatest protectors of all male gods and mortals. XX has the ability to both empower and protect or disease
and destroy the genetically weaker Y gene. / Functions
of the duel goddess Hathor/Sekhmet Y is merely half the
size of XX / Egypt’s iconic female king cobra is
twice the size and twice as powerful as the male king cobra. Indeed, she will
starve to death before leaving her young; symbolic of the snake eating her own
tail. Equally symbolic of the original female chromosome XXX gave up an X or
piece of herself, to host and nurture the new life attached to her. And as
nature so demands it of its females; to ensure the survival of her young, the
powerful Queen-King will without hesitation, viciously attack and devour all
threats to her child, including the adult male King.
Following the Bovidian creation of a male ‘son’ of god, it would take somewhere between 4-11,000 years before the concept of a so called ‘father god’ would first appear within the historical records. Thus this newly created figure of a father god is closer to us today at a mere six-thousand years, than he was to the ancients who first created Horus the Son. Yet, in bold contrast to the Biblical Father God, Egypt’s Father God began as a non-threatening entity and ardent worshiper of the great goddess mother. A tribal concept which took hold amongst the Nile’s two warring factions of the North and South, Atum and Re. Naturally, this newly created position of father god didn’t derive from an awe inspiring and dynamic past, so for their own empowerment tribal chieftains were forced to borrow and slightly alter the already powerful genesis of Hathor.
At this point I do not use the word “usurped” because I’m of the opinion this new male god station was supported, if not envisioned, by the high matriarchs of each tribe seeking to unite the male muscle and force at their disposal for war. According to the large amount of women buried with nothing more than their favorite weapon, it was a bloody war in which the tribal females equally participated on the battlefield.
By all measure it appears Atum’s tribe took the initial lead until Re quickly gained momentum which culminated in the two factions uniting under Atum-Re. By the third dynasty Atum had respectfully moved to the background as Re gained popularity amongst the whole of Egypt. Over the next several thousand years, father gods and creation stories would come and go but with two constraints; Re would always retain his status quo as top male god, and second, he and all male gods would without fail give their proper respect to the Goddess Hathor. And for the most part the planets two sexes lived happily ever after under the balance of Ma’at.
That is…until the 18th Dynasty…when for the first time in the annals of humankind, femininity in all of her glorious aspects came under a cruel and unrelenting attack by two dark and ominous Father Gods, one springing from the brutal recesses of the other…both “hidden” in plain sight with little else but “matricide” on their minds.
Just over 3,300 years ago, all things considered feminine were conflated with a ‘non-natural property’ focused on the reconditioning of both sexes to believe that everything humanity had ever known, loved and worshiped…was a horrible and disgusting lie!
"A woman dropped a stone on his head and cracked his skull. Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say a woman killed me.' So his servant ran him through, and he died." (Judges)
At this point of reference, we return to Freud whose indoctrination into such Old Testament sentiments ‘unconsciously’ stopped him short of delving into the middle of the infinite abyss that so stumped him. In fact, had Freud first psychoanalyzed himself before taking on the great mystery of femininity, the genus would have been struck by the eye opening epiphany that he was himself, a common victim of an ancient continuum. Like the billions before and since Freud, orthodox religions continue to re-indoctrinate humanity into believing in an ‘altered history’ that is both fundamentally and internally at odds with our primeval memory.
And what is this primeval memory?
Simply put, for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years before the creation of the first male god ~
