As mentioned earlier a friend from a virtual community that I once belonged to had posed a set of ten questions related to life and the spirit and I am posting answers to each of these ten questions as separate pieces.

 

The second question that was posed to me was on the vast subject of love, sex and marriage. A lot of eminent souls have already discussed and elaborated on these subjects until they have become thread bare and I don

    Hi Suri,

    This of course is a great point of view and for the overall intention in it, I do agree with you. But to me it also still is a male point of view.

    And since the invention of the anti-conception pill, there has changed a lot, at least in the Western society, and I can only speak of Europe and my own experiences in my country, since I have been a part of that so-called sexual revolution in the sixties and seventies.

    And as always every invention has it pro's and its con's. One big advantage of this pill was of course the fact that it protected women to become pregnant. So we as parents were advised to give our children, and then especially our daughters good sex education, the moment they started to have their 'period'. So around 12 to 14 years. And to tell them about this pill. And the doctors here were already willing to give that pill to them at an early age, so they were protected, just in case.

    My generation has been the first that was able to test out this anti-conception pill and, as with every generation they want to test out everything :)

    So with the further emancipation of women, science went alongside and this pill was used by women, I can tell you that, to become more emancipated and on the other hand we had the 'love' generation greatly encouraged among others by someone from your own country Bhagwan Shree Rajhneesh (better known nowadays as Osho).

    I did not participate in either of those movements, but grew anyway together with my children as my whole generation did. And our children were allowed to experience before marriage

    and to live together for a while without being married. And if things did not go well after a while they separated.

    Naturally this also happened with married couples. Only thing is. our generation had been raised in a patriarchal society and more or less has been forced to manoeuvre between two life visions, the "old' one and the 'new' one.

    I believe we have now arrived at a point where the next generation will be really able unite the past into a new view and will be able to find out their own rules.

    Well, I am not such a good communicator as you are, I have not studied for this, but I hope you understand a little bit how things have gone more or less 'astray' and now will have to balance themselves again.

    Love, Mieke
