The core of self is unrecognized by most.
“Are you an animal?”
“Yes, first and foremost!”
“Where does your objective identity come from?”
I have it that it comes from the biological history of the evolution of your ancestry, your past. All that you are and do comes from what was brought to you through DNA—programming the biological being you are, as you exist in the present. It is imprinted in the Grand Central Station of your nerve system matrix.
Among the many aspects of sustaining ones existence, there is the sensory response function. The SRF function is stimulated by that which you touch, see, and feel. At the same time, in feeling, stimulating what you see and feel in its living environment. (the inner and outer body are one body to the neural mechanism)
When you ask about female and male, you are mostly speaking about how culture shapes its image and identity of the sexes vs its organic composition and functioning, which is the fundamental reproductive mechanism —the mechanism in the seeds of organic creation, without which you can’t exist, no matter what you think and feel.
All responses are the result of stimulus signaling the chemical secretions that produce behavior, interpretation, and response. They are the signaled source of physical reactions, the feelings of positive or negative reaction, the images and concepts you see, create, or feel, in the total picture of yourself, both seen and unseen.
So, when we speak of female and male, we are first and foremost speaking of what’s given in an organism in the role which plays, and has place in, the hereditary biography of a species in past and present contexts.
Being uninformed about ones organic animal life leaves us with cultural interpretations of what female and male are supposed to be, in living out personal identity and place.
This is filled with infinite distortions and images, most often being overlooked, or even attacked, by other individuals and their misinterpretations of ‘the others place’ regarding both sexes.
We must begin a dialogue, but we must first separate the differences in the neural composition of female and male neural chemistry, all of which leads to informed insight rather than outside images of cultural control and beliefs regarding another’s own individual interpretations and expectations.
