Declaration of Sexual Independence
ON THE WORLD-WIDE WEB, July 4, 2004.
The Declaration of a Free Society,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for Enlightened People
to dissolve the binds of ignorance that constrain them,
and to reclaim their Rightful Wisdom and Power on this Earth, that
which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the
dignity of their global family requires that they
declare the causes which impel them to the action.
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all human beings are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness
through fulfillment of Desire.
That to serve these rights, Moral Codes
evolve among Peoples, deriving their
just powers from the consent of collective mind.
That to promote these rights, Social Customs derive therefrom. And that
whenever any Custom of Mind becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Code and Custom, laying
its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Enlightened Fulfillment.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Customs long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all
experience hath shown that people are more
disposed to suffer, while suppression is
sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when a long train of social weakness
and disaster evinces failure of the Customs to promote their Rights,
it is their further right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Custom and its parent Code, and to provide new
Social Models for their future well-being. Such
has been the patient sufferance of Society; and
such is now the necessity that impels them to
alter their former Codes and Customs. The
history of human moral codes is a history of
repeated oppression, suppression, and repression,
directly undermining the very Rights they are intended to serve. They, the
Moral Codes and child Social Customs, the product of fundamental
self-denial, must therefore continually oppress, suppress, and repress
natural self-expression, whether of oneself, other persons and groups, or
entire societies. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid
world.
They, the Codes and Customs, are used by
numberless governments to wage war on nations, invade and usurp homelands,
enslave peoples, colonize and oppress citizens in their own countries, set
up apartheid governments, deny sovereignty and statehood, establish puppet
regimes, spy on or otherwise subvert foreign governments, assassinate
foreign leaders, politically coerce countries, dehumanize prisoners of
war, steal resources from peoples, and to embargo, blockade, isolate or
otherwise economically manipulate and impoverish nations, in the name of
their own nationalism, and often under false guise of freedom, liberation,
sovereignty, and democracy.
They blindly defend indefensible government positions and policies that endanger the welfare,
safety, and lives of their citizens, recklessly inciting terror, and using said terror
to foment further, unspeakable terror, putting the entire national security at risk.
They act as crutches for governments in their own nations
to oppress, enslave, terrorize, and kill their own people; declare
martial law to suppress freedom; exile critics to prisons, concentration
camps, gulags, and frigid lands; stamp out race, culture, and religion;
starve peasants; steal lands; incite riots; waste in refugee camps; and to
discriminate, segregate, or otherwise deny civil rights.
They have through history fueled the fire of numerous ethnic groups and nations to
holocaust, genocide, crucifixion, burning of crosses, lynching, torture,
feeding of men to lions, raping of women, slaughter of children,
pillaging, and other unthinkable cultural oppression.
They are callously employed by business entities, economic institutions,
and social and political classes to deny opportunity, withhold capital,
refuse promotion, dispense unequal pay, profit from slave and child labor,
traffic in peoples, hold in involuntary servitude, promote class
separation, impoverish nations, and perpetuate third-world status on
entire continents.
They serve as dead bricks in walls nations build to separate peoples,
dividing even their own country.
They stifle the Human Spirit of men and women, driving them from religion,
the intent of which is to awaken it.
They conspire and contrive to convince humanity that it is fallen from Grace,
born of 'Original Sin', the instrument of the devil, and destined and deserving to suffer.
They, in the form of guilt, shame, doubt, and fear, are self-righteously used by religious
'leaders' to coerce and manipulate governments and followers into
repression, in the name of God, and false heavens and hells.
They obscenely justify countless Crusades, Inquisitions, Jihads, Holy Wars,
hostage takings, bombings, and other terrorist acts.
They blasphemously justify proselytizing, mass conversion, and denigration,
subjugation, and extinction of indigenous faiths.
They alienate our youth, sour them on education, drive them from tradition,
encourage escape through drugs, and inspire rebellion in them.
They leave behind a void of unfulfilled desire that inevitably explodes in anger,
hatred, hostility, crime, violence, terror, and war.
They serve as fodder for hate groups against race, religion, ethnicity,
gender, and sexual orientation.
They are used by 'religious' men to deny women places in ministry.
They feed false representations of sex as dirty, evil sin.
They suppress natural sexual expression, leaving it to slink 'unseen' as ubiquitous
pornography, or erupt as rape, sexual violence, and other sex crime.
They underlie wide-spread sexual dysfunction and impotence,
and also the more subtle yet pervasive lack of sexual satisfaction, which
ironically breeds the sexual cravings, obsession, and addiction that those
same moral codes demonize.
They so repress natural sexual desire as to drive 'religious' men to genitally
mutilate girls and dismember themselves in vain attempts to satisfy impossible
mores in the name of God, and impel even priests to homosexual child abuse.
They have falsely justified religious claims of heresy against science,
and even imprisonment and murder of such 'heretics'.
They have ignited passion for witch hunts, and burning of women at the stake.
Historically, they have poorly excused public flogging,
hanging, beheading, drawing and quartering, tarring and feathering,
restraining in stocks, and branding with scarlet letters.
They have spurred ways of life that shun progress health, and wealth,
ostensibly in the name of God.
They breed personal and social apathy, and the thought 'nothing to live for'.
They reduce ancient greatness of individuals, cultures, and God to legend, myth,
fantasy, fairytale, hallucination, and insanity.
And at one time in history, eleven score and eight years ago,
those same oppressive moral codes drove waves of immigrants to the shores
of a new uncharted land named America, that was dreamed as the freedom from all that,
and that inspired visionary men to forge a document Declaring Independence
from governments legislating that, but which has since fallen under the subtler governing spell
of the same enslaving mental apparition, waiting to awaken and remember its Destiny.
And unbeknownst to the main of Society, the false moral codes and social customs
that are a figment of the human mind have nearly completely effaced from the earth
the ancient wisdom that Desire is Sacred, and that far from tempting humanity away from Spirit,
Desire is our passion and means of connecting to It, and sexuality, being our most
innate and potent Desire, has the sublime power to unite us with Spirit in
Sacred Union, be a worldly expression of that on Earth, and free us
eternally from the false notions that rob life of its Sacred Dignity.
Throughout history, Society has spoken out against such
hypocrisy, ignorance, and injustice; our repeated Petitions have
been answered only by continued denial. A Moral Code
whose character is thus marked by continuing
suppression of Human Spirit, is unfit to govern
Enlightened People.
Nor have we been wanting in appeals to legal Justice.
We have petitioned time and again to legislatures for statutory relief,
appealing to their sense of Liberty, and invoking our common heritage as Spiritual Beings.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and kinship. We have endured
their endless platitudes, and we reject them fully. We have examined their
vain beliefs and laboured reasoning, and we reject them fully.
Now We, the People of Society, comprehend that false moral codes suppress
Spirit, demean life, and divide peoples, fail to uphold the Truth of the
Human Condition, and when pursued, breed only stifling weakness and
conflict. Rather, Humanity is born for Divine Purpose, achieved by
Enlightened Desire, to attain Divine Realization. We attest that such
Fulfillment of Desire of Men and Women everywhere, in whatever form it
takes, is their unalienable Right. In that Spirit we hold firmly, that
there is no 'evil', only Good we have yet to engender.
We, therefore, the People of the World,
appealing to the Supreme Witness of the world
for the Truth of our intentions, do, in the Name, and
by Authority of Good People everywhere,
together publish and declare, That We are,
and of Right ought to be Free and Enlightened Peoples;
that are Absolved from all Allegiance to tired customs,
and that all social connection between us
and said custom, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
and that as Free and Enlightened Peoples, we have full Power to contract
Alliance with the Source of Desire in Creation,
and to do all Acts in accord therewith that
Enlightened People may of right do. And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Desires,
our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
