Orders of Nature: Nymphs

Synopsis:

1. The Nymph is a Nature Spirit who is developing integumentary sensitivity prior to entering the human kingdom.

2. The human female, rather than the male, is to develop tactile sensitivity as a Speciality Sense, above and beyond that of her other senses, as a means of extended service.

3. Nymphomania as a concept is a perversion of the reality lying behind certain (often accurate) observations of the human condition: it is simply an example of a female who is blessed with advanced tactile sensitivity but who 'specialises' in coital pleasure. She should not be criticised or ostracised by society for simply acting as nature intended.

4. The Emphatic and the Empath are other examples of integumentary sensitivity but is not necessarily indicative of Nymphomania.

5. The Satyr is a predator intent on gaining power over his victim and is not the male equivalent of the Nymphomaniac.

The Message:

"The hands of the Nymph are the most sensitive part of their anatomy, quite unlike their portrayal in legend. They are the exemplars of the power of touch to the extent that they are able, should the need arise, to navigate their environment using this sense alone. The tales of erotic encounters and the danger therein have been much exaggerated by the fevered imagination of mankind. They are not, as has been transmitted through the ages, a moral hazard nor a mortal threat to the sons of man. Their function is to develop sensitivity in a certain area prior to their taking incarnation as human beings but that sensitivity, although heightened in their natural state, becomes the common sensitivity of the average human entity once they have made the transition for which life in the etheric realm is a preparation. In their natural state they are of course sensitive in all areas in which tactile sensation is possible and this has given rise to speculation of the crudest kind. But taken in the round they are the prototypes of the human integumentary system in terms of its impact on consciousness.

"You have been wondering about their male equivalent. I'm afraid I must disappoint you in that respect for the male of the human species is required to develop sensitivity in other areas than touch. Yes, the human male can enjoy the delights of tactile sensation but he cannot (or will not) develop along those lines.

"The human female is far more sensitive to tactile stimulus than is the male during the current epoch and is intended to develop this further as time progresses. Eventually will emerge a response to physical stimulation which will lead the human female into hitherto unrecognised areas of contact beyond the physical realm to the point where she can move within the realm of substance at will, simply by attuning to it with her heightened sense of touch and, at the behest of her own inner daimon, make the transition from one area of experience to another.

"I hope with the publication of this information some progress will be made within the human kingdom towards a more considered and less hysterical approach to the subject of other-worldly beings in general and Nymphomania, as it has come to be called, in particular. Further, I would like to add one final caveat to the preceding information. At no point is it intended that the human species should develop its Speciality Sense, as it is called in higher circles, at the expense of other means of contact with environmental conditions, but simply to accept that sensitivity is, to those for whom it is intended, an opportunity for service in advance of that which would otherwise be possible.

"I wish to thank you for your interest in this subject and hope you will make my response available to those who can appreciate the subtleties of it's exposition. I am the Deva Lord of Tactile Sensation and wish you well in your particular endeavours.

Another being comes through with further explanation:

"We have just made an important transition in our conception of how the universe is structured. What we have discovered is that, prior to the human state, single areas of sensitivity are developed by what we call pre-human entities. The human race, then, is the first kingdom in a long progression wherein all five senses are operative at a functional level from the perspective of Divine Intent and wherein self determination becomes a possibility.

What is the significance of the Deva's reference to Nymphomania?

"Nymphomania as a concept is a perversion of the reality lying behind certain (often accurate) observations of the human condition and attaching itself to male and female alike. But the fact remains that in the eyes of nature the Nymphomaniac, so called, is nothing more than an exemplar of tactile sensation and lives in a state of wonder at her capacity for pleasure in this area. The fact that, at the present time, more emphasis is placed by some on the pleasure of coital satisfaction has given rise to a skewed perception in the public mind of a phenomenon which has wider implication. The Emphatic, the Empath and all others who's psychic perception relies on a heightened sense of touch also fall into this category, not necessarily as nymphomaniacs but as beings who have realised the nature of what it means to be a human female and are consciously attempting to develop in this area.

"The Nymphomaniac as she is currently understood is to be viewed simply as a specialist in integumentary sensation in a particular area and should not be criticised or ostracised by a wider society for acting simply as nature intended, but instead be respected for her knowledge of that particular area of human interaction with the environment in which all of us find our place.

What of the Nymph-chasing Satyr?

"Yes, there is a male equivalent of the Nymphomaniac but this is not it. The Satyr is a predator and not remotely interested in sexual pleasure except as a form of power over his victim. He sees penetration as a symbolic conquest and not as a means of mutual satisfaction. The exact male equivalent to the Nymphomaniac has so far escaped the scrutiny of the established order and should not, if inadvertently discovered, be subjected to public scrutiny."
