I never usually post images that I haven’t scanned myself, but this particular post is an exception to the rule. I know that a lot of people on Tumblr source the images that they upload from other blogs. I’ve particularly noticed an incredible amount of images on here and elsewhere that have been sourced from a blog devoted to Vogue magazine between the years 1965-1975 called YOUTHQUAKER, which also happens to be a favourite of mine! Running an independent fashion blog is a costly and time consuming endeavour, and Youthquaker have been very generous to us all over the years, so for anyone who has ever used the content on that website in someway or merely enjoyed the view, I’d like you to take a moment read their latest post HERE

Helena Blavatsky - The Seven Planes of Existence, “The Secret Doctrine, the Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy”, 1888. The Sevenfold Nature of Man is the reflection of the Sevenfold Nature of the Universe. “As Above, So Below; on Earth as it is in Heaven.” Man is the Microcosm of the Great Macrocosm and the seven different “Principles” or components of his Being are literally derived from the Universal Seven Principles. These Seven Planes correspond to the Seven States of Consciousness in Man. It remains with him to attune the Three Higher States in himself to the Three Higher Planes in Kosmos. But before he can attempt to attune, he must awaken the Three “Seats” to Life and Activity. In the diagram, the upper three Planes are described as “The Three Higher Planes of the Septenary Kosmos,” “The Divine and Formless World of Spirit.” One of the fundamental teachings of Theosophy is that all Manifestation is of a Septenary Nature. Everything follows the Sevenfold pattern. Every group, division, or representation of Seven is always comprised of a Higher Three and a Lower Four. In the case of human beings in Physical Incarnation, our Seven Principles are divisible into the Spiritual Triad (also called the Upper Imperishable Triad) of Atma-Buddhi-Manas and the Lower Quaternary of Kama-Prana-Linga Sharira-Sthula Sharira. Also, each of those Seven Principles is itself Sevenfold, being comprised of Seven Sub-Principles. This is equally true for the Seven Planes and for all else. 7 x 7 = 49 and the Forty-Nine Fires, as they are called in the Vishnu Purana and other Eastern scriptures, is one of the deepest subjects of “The Secret Doctrine.” The Three Higher Planes are the Arupa or Formless Planes, the Unmanifested, and that the Four Lower Planes are the Rupa or Planes of Form, the Manifested. The Three Higher Planes belong to the Archetypal Universe. The Four Lower Planes are labelled in this diagram with the names by which they are referred to in the teachings of the Kabbalah, namely the Archetypal Plane, the Intellectual-Creative Plane, the Substantial-Formative Plane, and our objectively visible and tangible Physical-Material Plane.

Freud’s Theory of Femininity

Freud mostly focused on the analysis of male sexuality, but according to his studies on females, women were passive sexual beings. Their only desire to have sex was in order to have children. Their sexuality is defined by an “envy” or a desire to have a penis, because they felt incomplete without it. This is why he claims that daughters shift their love from their mother to a sexual alliance with their fathers in order to relate to them. The relation between mother and daughter breaks off because he believed that the daughter blames the mother for giving her an “incomplete penis”. This theory suggests that women, especially lesbian or bisexual women, are underdeveloped. However, he also believed that women were more inclined towards bisexuality during adulthood (although he argued that all humans were naturally bisexual), because they have both a feminine sexual zone and a masculine sexual zone. He argues that the mature woman changes the focus from the feminine to the masculine zone but fails to be “completely sexualized”. 

This theory has a lot of criticism.
