Burkas on the Streets of Austin

In recent months I have seen three women on the streets of Austin wearing full burkas with nothing but their eyes showing. I used to believe the garment was only worn in countries where the Taliban required it, and now this. I don't know if our planet is a eukaryotic cell that is in the process of mitosis and the human race is going to experience a bifurcation process when the split occurs, or if there is only one mother earth for all times, and what we see is all there will ever be. Regardless of which is the reality, something is obvious: Change is coming. It's inevitable. And it's coming fast.  

If the eukaryotic cell hypothesis is correct, and this planet is splitting into two, reductum ad absurdum logic leads me to imagine that all women will be wearing burkas on one planet and no burkas will be needed on the other. If the wheel of karma is simply turning, and the increasing number of women wearing burkas on the streets of Austin is an omen of things to come, there will be a whole lot more women wearing burka's all over America in the near future.

I know we have all been taught to celebrate diversity, but this is not a good thing. They circumcise teenage girls against their will without any anesthesia in areas of the world where women are required to be veiled, and teenage boys are more likely to be sodomized, especially those who are exceptionally handsome with relatively effeminate facial features.

Motherhood is the holy matrix. The feminine aspect of humanity is the fiber that holds society together. The mother's womb is what contains the human seed and brings forth new life. My favorite Guru once said that her greatest fear is that she dreads to be like a nun. I now understand completely. Containment of the seed is what insures a balanced and stable society, yet very few people are walking the walk these days. The marriage license was an idea that was conceived to protect women, who are naturally hardwired to be faithful and devoted, and preserve the integrity of the matrix. 

The healthy masculine understands how the masculine and feminine essences serve one another to create a balanced and stable community. The healthy masculine knows the importance of the holy motherhood as matrix of society and desires to do his part in providing a safe container for the Goddess energy. The healthy masculine has liberated himself from the compulsion to keep searching for a sexual relationship that is transcendently more satisfying than the last by his desire to insure the holy matrix is protected and safe.

Countries that require women to wear veils claim the law is to protect women because they don't believe men can be trusted. And now there are veils in Austin.

The healthy masculine understands that a committed partnership based on mutual devotion to God is what makes transcendence possible, brings a relationship into perfect alignment, and creates the possibility of mutual simultaneous sexual pleasure of equal measure that opens the portal to new dimensions in the joyful land. True love, that which understands a relationship can be the vehicle for transportation into new paradigms of reality, and that sex is key that opens the portal door, are the pioneers who will colonize the new dimension in this new found land of joy.

Pairing is the natural way of the plan that has already been established and laid out for us by the creative urge. We can accept it or reject it. Even triploid lesbian lizards that clone themselves pair up and fertilize their own eggs. To practice polyamory is to defy the plan of creation that has already been set in motion for this planet. We have two eyes for a reason. They are the windows of the soul. Sex as meditation, is just like any other form of meditation, the more time you spend focusing and concentrating your energy in one place, the deeper it will take you.

Deep and profound intimacy is the prerequisite to transformational sex. An investment of time, devotion, trust, attention and commitment are required. Women fake orgasms because they don't want to hurt men's egos. They fake orgasms because they don't know what an orgasm is and they know that men prize orgasmic women. Real orgasmic capacity will not increase until the truth is told in this regard, the plan of creation is respected, the natural law is understood, and the masculine and feminine essences joyfully fulfill their roles, protectively re-pairing the matrix in service to humanity as a whole.

There are worlds where polyamory is the natural way. The world of the fly is one of them. They have thousands of eyes, lay eggs and make offspring by the millions. Their larva serves as maggots to eat the dead rotting flesh of corpses. Is that the direction we are headed when the wheel turns?

Hello Gail,

I have enjoyed your writing and teaching for many years now. This piece suprised me a bit because it seems judgemental and that is not usually a word that I would associate with your work.

I am from the US, now living in Istanbul, Turkey. Now Turkey is influenced a lot more by Europe these days, than other Middle Eastern countries.

I often see women covered and some are not, from a simple scarf to full burkas... there is no law for women to be covered, even though this is a primarily a Muslim country.

In fact any University or public building will not allow you to wear a head cover, even if you are accepting your diploma for graduation from University.

It saddened me to see two nursing students going up to accept their diplomas and were pulled from the stage by their classmates because they would not remove their headscarves.

What I am trying to say is this is a choice for these women, based on their faith and spiritual beliefs.

Just like the ladies you have seen in Austin. If they prefer to not show their female form with burkas or long trench coats and cover their hair, well I believe that's a freedom the should have in the US or any modern country.

On the other hand the countries that do some of the unspeakable acts you mentioned in the piece, well I really feel for those women.

For example, in neighboring countries like Iran, the police will stop your car if there appears to be any female over the age of 10 without her head covered.

It's about having the freedom to believe and worship God in the way you choose, or for some, to not believe in a God at at all.

I am for women's rights and those that choose to stay in their faith, and be modest and covered while living in the US shouldn't be judged or looked at as strange, they are simply choosing what they want and that is empowering.

This spring, I was called upon to take a chest x-ray of a woman. Normally what happens is that I ask her to go into the dressing room and remove her blouse and bra and put on a gown. In this case, I called the woman from the waiting room and up stood a woman in full burkha, along with her husband. I knew that I would get no cooperation from her on my request, so I chickened out and called for a female tech. The husband insisted on being in the room with her, but for safety and health reasons, he had to wait in the control room.

As a health care professional, I have to take a respectful and distant approach to nudity. I try, to the best of my ability, to provide sufficient cover to preserve the patient's modesty, but in this instence the person's religion prevented me from even doing that much. I actually felt offended that I would act in anything other than a professional manner.

I have to wonder if she's ever had a mammogram or a pelvic exam. A guy can't get a mammo job in town and about 30% of the Ob/GYN's are female, so that shouldn't be a problem. But it seems the culture is so wrapped up in suppressing women that their health is rarely cared for.

Dear Elise,

You say, "What I am trying to say is this is a choice for these women, based on their faith and spiritual beliefs."

Do they really have a choice?
