                              %SEXUAL CONSCIOUSNESS 731207

     Among  the  many  states of consciousness  there  are
those in  which persons are aware of and  relate  to  each
other   with   reciprocal  recognition  of  each   other's
sexuality.     The   great   power  of  such   states   of
consciousness  to influence the decisions and  actions  of
men  and  women may be traced to the essential role  which
they have played in the  evolution of and the survival  of
the species.  The sexual  states of consciousness contrast
with  and compliment those characteristic of  rationality,
analysis,  good and evil,  and full control.   As with all
states  of  consciousness  there  are   only   ill-defined
boundaries  between the sexual states of consciousness and
others.

     Because  of the natural consequences associated  with
persons  sharing  in sexual states of consciousness  there
have  evolved many traditions and/or taboos to  assist  in
the  partial control of behavior associated with  intimate
relationships.    Such   traditions  and/or  taboos   were
sometimes helpful within the historical era which  devised
them.   When  such an era has passed it is not  enough  to
violate the outdated traditions and/or taboos, even though
they   may  be  agents  of  alienation.    They  must   be
transcended.    The  adolescent  who spends all  his  time
rebelling against his parents is still being dominated  by
parents in his rebellion.   To be free of his parents, the
adolescent   needs  to  become  mutually  aware  with  and
mutually  understanding with his parent.  He must put away
childish ways, even though he sees in a mirror only dimly,
if he is to become free to choose.

     Persons  who  feel  most  secure  in  the  states  of
consciousness characterized by rationality, analysis, good
and  evil,  and full-control may be greatly threatened  by
the  taboos  and  the perceived  dangers  associated  with
sexual states of consciousness.  Except within a fail-safe
context  the  emotional security of such persons  is  most
likely   to   be  protected  via  avoidance  of   intimate
relationships;   through  physical  separation,    imposed
standards,    technical  solutions,   full-control,    the
knowledge  of  good  and  evil,   repression,   collusion,
tangential responses, etc.

     Such  protective  techniques are likely to  be  major
factors  in  preventing the integration into  the  physics
profession of feminine persons who might otherwise  become
attractive  scientists whose real presence within  physics
departments  would helpfully change the self-image and the
state  of  consciousness of physicists who have not  fully
ceased to live.
