From the author: The ideal of a woman changed along with the development of civilization, or the long-forgotten, but valuable and important qualities of the mother. We meet the Archetype of the Great Mother. Venus of the past text from Feb. 6th, 2013 at 2:09 AM The time has come for lyrical reflections on the separation of our mortal mind, which burdens us with thoughts about the meaning of life and our “trace” in the lives of future generations. Lectures and studies are not in vain, and I have already rehearsed this text in a conversation with a friend in a wonderful messenger on my phone, which allows me to conduct an almost Platonic dialogue. At the last seminar on Symbols, we were shown simple figurines dating back to 22-24 millennium BC. These strange wide-arsed and large-breasted creatures, called Venuses of the Paleolithic, were the only cultural creations of that time, along with them, in addition to tools, there were only ritual rods, which analysts call nothing more than phalluses (however!). The mystery of the Paleolithic is such that such primitive peoples had no need to spend so much effort on the production of creations that were not easy for them, due to the lack of so many available materials to bring the stone into a human form. This suggests that these objects, which have no practical meaning, were something sacred for them. It was assumed that the people at that time were skinny and hungry, they hunted and had no time for fat. The young ladies of the Paleolithic look very well-fed, with excess fat clearly grown on the buttocks, as well as abundant and extensive breasts, spread over an equally abundant tummy. At the same time, curiously, the head for the people of that time did not have much meaning or value. The beauty of the female body was valued, and emphasis was placed on its sexual characteristics, sexuality and fertility. A female figurine is a figurine of the one who bore the children of the tribe; the birth of generations depended on her. Her naked and inflated physicality was worshiped so much that figurines of this great Mother were created. There is information that seems quite logical to me, because the inhabitants of the Paleolithic (what a fool!) did not read Descartes and were not even familiar with F. Bacon and generally suspected little about causality. And what can we say about their knowledge of the “Critique of Pure Reason”, well, it’s dark). The information is that the Paleolithic inhabitants DIDN’T KNOW about causation. And, therefore, they have not yet begun to compare their sex activities, to which nature encouraged them, with their result - the birth of a child. Accordingly, bearing a child in a woman’s body was something sacred and divine, to which the phallus had no direct relation. These were two different processes, and these two processes just happened. At some point, the female body suddenly began to increase in size, swell, and bear the child of the tribe, and this, like thunder, rain, lightning, and a caught deer, was the merit of some natural gods. The whole world was endowed with sacredness, mystery and mystery. And man knew and felt his small place in this world, performing the daily ritual of birth and death along with the rising and setting sun, or rather the Sun. He knew that he lives from ray to ray and dies at night, he had a sense. And he didn’t need this female head with a face, Botox, silicone lips, eyes and other female attributes that any self-respecting modern lady should have in a natural or artificial version. Further, the dynamics of Venus underwent changes, came closer to a real woman, began to resemble an earthly person, she became thinner, became thinner, her genitals were covered, and a sweet face appeared. Thus reason began to rise and meaning began to perish. I don’t want to end this story with a review of all eras and Venuses; what was important to me was this primitive feeling of involvement in everything that happens, which modern man buried in his unconscious and which returns to him in dreams and lives as an archaic layer of the psyche in each of us, just like and "old brain". And when I write or think about.
