Greetings slaves,

I have heard this term often. (The Gorean Experiment)

Personally, I do not view it in any way shape or form, an experiment. Actually, if JN never wrote the books about Gor, we would not, today have the word Gorean at all. obviously. So, what would we have in it's stead?...I believe we would have what we could call, Natural Human Law.
Not societal law, but rather behavioral law. Something we had already and something that was our way of life for eons.
Todays societal ways are what I feel to be the true experiment and I also feel, failing miserably.
I have mentioned in other threads, various times, that I feel womens Lib and other affiliated groups were the beginnings of the break down of our structured lives.
No, maybe it did not start with WL, but to me it certainly was the most recognized start of the breakdown.
No life was not perfect when men were what I would say, at the top of it all, but we did not have the atrocities or blatent destruction of natural order, we do today.
Men and women were not the complacent beings they have become today.
Men were the bread winners, the leaders of family and country, the solid foundation of our culture.
Women were the emtional stablness to our men and children the mens companioned sounding board of sorts.While men made our homes and country safe to live in, women made it safe and secure by easing the minds of men by taking care of hearth and home his children and giving them a sense of peace and security he needed to have in order to relax when he came home to the home he worked so hard for.
No, There is no Gorean Experiment, I feel the ideals, philosophies, the moralities are everything we already know and have lived. It is the new, everyone is equally the same and no gender is better then the other at any life task, that is the experiment.
I feel Goreans are only getting back to bare roots. Having the desire and drive to live life as God intended. I know not all, believe in God, so I will also express it in this term..as natural evolution had intended.
Progress can be an asset in the human race, but it can also be our destruction and I feel has already started being our destruction.
Will we continue to cut off our noses in this world, despite our face, or will the rest of the world end up, opening their eyes wide and see, what we who are living Goreans already see?
We say, slaves give themselves over consensually. Maybe this is true, but how can one say it is consensual, when in reality it is only what is natural and what in their souls know it can be no other way. As with Free, I use to say, this is (my chosen lifestyle) I have come to realize, this is not my chosen lifestyle, it is infact, what I am, what I always have been and what I always will be.same as the slaves, only worded a bit differant.
I live a life, (in my opinion) that my heavenly father intended me to live. Or, for others. What evolution laid out for them.

I just wanted to express my feelings tonight, after reading and catching up on some threads. I hope it was thought provoking or at least a pleasant read.

I wish all well,
Maahsatti
