The Dark Goddess and the Sixth Sense The Dark Goddess The Dark Goddess and the Sixth Sense, a new book by Michael Redgrave, shows the inherent selec- tive blindness of modem humanity and how things repressed - sym- bolised by the ‘dark senses’ and the female - are rising to balance human vision once again. and the Sixth Sense This book paints breathtaking pictures of the modern mindscape in relation to the ‘myths’ of Oedipus and the Sphinx and shows how, like Oedipus, self-blinding, seif- mutilating patriarchies have led humanity to believe it Is the end-point of evolution, having solved all ‘Important’ mysteries. These deep and active symbols also indicate how the warrior religions overturned earlier, more homogenous cultures all over the world which were also more in tune with their environment - cul- tures which had day-to-day access to the self-evident ‘mysteries’ were systemati- cally subsumed by more aggressive groups, who had numbed their true *sen- suous perceptions’ by alienating the sexes Visual, audial, tactile, infored (heat), | “..One view of atomic structure Is that and sensesin their daily habits andtaboos, | chemical and electromagnetic sensitivity | matter Itself Is like an interference pattem This schism in the species, accordingto | ale discussed and explored as modes of | between waves... matter Is a particular Redgrave, is being slowly healed from | cornmunication - an example being the | form of electromagnetism...” within - by the sublime senses and super- “external hormones’ or preromones The ‘onlooker or ‘spectator’ con- senses which we have submerged - but | Which allow communication between | sciousness of Western science from Aris- not eradicated. humans, insects and plants - even across totie to today Is reviewed and compared He explores the multi-channelled | species boundaries. to such concepts as Chi and Feng-Shul communications systems of nature, many | “The chemical constituents of animaland | from China and other cultures more of which we are still only re-discovering in | Plant hormones, sex pheromones and | aware of the “radiant continuum” of life ourselves and other species.
