    About this ebook

    This book is republished in the light of the sexual scandals in the Catholic Church, in particular the Royal Commission into Child Sexual abuse in Australia and current charges against Cardinal Pell. A plain language but complex speculative theory of psychology and philosophy that integrates gender, sexuality and psychological aspects of society and religion. A new foreword features latest findings in areas of psychology [Prof. Paul Bloom(Yale) and Prof Jordan Peterson(Toronto)] and immunology [Jin-Lu, et al] that confirm some of the more controversial issues published in 1987, especially in regards to sexual bonding. This book was originally distributed in Australia to Federal politicians and has found its way into the hands of many prominent people around the world including US politicians, Pope Benedict or Cardinal Ratzinger as he was at the time, actresses and models such as Brooke Shields, Helena Bonham-Carter and Claudia Schiffer, etc mostly because of their Catholic connections. The book is more an emphasis on biology and natural law, placed in the context of a transcendent Christianity to show the difference and yet interdependence of the two ie the natural law applies to all human beings but Christianity is a free choice.

      SUMMARY

      REFERENCES

      FOREWORD

      It should be noted that this was primarily a speculative theory of psychology and philosophy derived from an observation of human nature and unsupervised research. The physiological data supplied are used to demonstrate and confirm, in both a real and an allegorical sense, rather than provide the basis for this theory. I had no legitimate expertise in the physiological sciences when it was originally written, although it was reviewed by experts in the field, and I provided this theory as a framework for specialist scientific investigation in the many fields covered. A somewhat grandiose title but it was my first attempt at writing

      Since I developed this theory in 1981 I have gained formal qualifications in psychology, neuroscience and biology and practiced as a registered psychologist from 1998 until 2015.

      The two most controversial points are now more widely supported:

      Homosexuality and the antigenic nature of sperm in the gastro-intestinal tract (rectum and mouth but not in vagina) is demonstrated in a paper

      Gastro-intestinal exposure to sperm was also associated with the development of Anti Sperm Antibodies(ASA’s) in homosexual men. In addition, in some cases,immunity to sperm cells, may be the result of altered sperm antigens. P119. Jin-Chun Lu, Yu-Feng Huang and Nian-Quig Lu. Expert Review Clinical Immunology, 2008: 4(1) 113—126"

      Contrasted with

      ‘In the female’s body, deposited sperm are regarded as foreign invader cells and as such would normally be targeted for attack and destruction by circulating antibodies. Yet sperm, which are immunologic aliens to the woman, do not usually cause an antibody response. Although usually exposed to billions of sperm during her lifetime, few women develop sperm antibodies’. http://www.newyorkfertilityservices.com/causes-of-infertility/anti-sperm-antibodies/

      The brain differences and the more subjective nature of women make them less suited to roles of authority and the detrimental effects of a failure to accept this has on society seem to have been independently scientifically validated recently by two professors of psychology in 2016-17. Professor Paul Bloom from Yale and Professor Jordan Peterson from Toronto

      Dr Paul Bloom, psychologist and Yale professor, argues that empathy is a ‘bad’ thing—that it makes the world worse. While we've been taught that putting yourself in another's shoes cultivates compassion, it actually blinds you to the long-term consequences of your actions. He has published a book on this matter in January 2017 featured in New Scientist.

      It is republished in its original form as this is an easier format for readers and the technical exposition that I am quite capable of now would require a major tome to cover the material but the essential points are still highly relevant.
