I'm afraid the commenter is the one projecting modern notions, not the obviously informed writer. How defeatist to suggest writing is the corruption of some imaginary "womens' past". Dreaming culture, indeed.

Apsara are beautiful flying women are divine beings and have nothing whatsoever to do with seduction. Those are archeological mens projections onto these deities. That would be like saying Buddhas are pimps (in every University writing on earth). Its gotten to be a very bad habit of sexualizing the divine female. Apsara derive from PRE-Hinduism and PRE-Theravada Buddhist cultures and the caves were once theirs alone and the sacred dreaming women of dreaming cultures who ruled. Kings were whore-men and pimps in the sickness of reputed 30,000 females. That is rape at a cultural level. Feitian from the Mogao Caves is not murky of women's sacred shamanic cultures of dances. Dance itself would take me two hours to explain to you the ancient rituals and how they work. If human beings were not so frozen in the all male glory and hero out of control, maybe for once they would sit quietly and begin understand oral culture, dreaming culture, an ancient story before any man even had power or the invention of a written language which corrupted all woman's past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440874506535632537.post-81346090986871352252016-01-08T11:41:54.711+01:002016-01-08T11:41:54.711+01:00this is something..what i look for.this is something..what i look for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
