Abstract
In this essay I outline a theory where knowledge and the broad categories of culture as defined by religion, art, science,
philosophy and mysticism are described as expressions of an underlying cause, namely sexual lust and urges. I argue that
it is this natural disposition that is at the heart of the search for truth and knowledge and cultural formations, as well
as the creative impulse for new ideas and thus it is no surprise that it is this “act” that is the circuitry that enables life
to continue and generate over time and space. Nature thus is never conquered as it were but commits itself to a dance
where mind and body are necessarily related and thus connecting our highest human pursuits with copulation, pleasure,
joy and ecstasy.
