Lone Male Skin
When Adam’s Rib
is used to create Eve it is an act that Obliterates the Womb
in that it conveys the core Abrahamic belief and revelation that there
is no Mother goddess, that women’s bodies are not
the primal birthing body, rather, the male’s
is.
The whole Garden of Eden story can
be summed up as the Lone Male saying that his skin
is special.
That his skin is exceptionally different
from every other skin story. To assert this, the
Abrahamics skin their
cocks, which become their
clan totems, their holy rods, and their emblem
of
group identity.
Earthfolk reject this
Abrahamic sense of skin, and re-assert what many other
creation stories forward, namely, that when you touch
your skin you know that you are one with all people
and all living creatures.
In other creation stories, whoever
creates—God or Divine Being or Coyote or whomever—is understood
as wielding a preciously intimate erotic power since
they are forging the seething life force of Eros into various life forms.
Non-biblical and non-human-imagery stories often position humans as
part of a greater fabric, of a web of nature or as a ray of a fiery
Light or as somehow situated within the network of all living things.
Elements of this type are present in the biblical
creation story but what is significant here is that how humans
are positioned is presented
through a very wild imagination. That is, the purpose of
the six days of creation sequence is to make clear that all
creation, all life forms, are subordinated to
the created human, Adam.
The biblical revelation
is that
all life forms,
except women, are part of a
web of life whose
center is Adam.
