Alienated Consciousness and Sexuality

Alienated Consciousness is so pervasive it is engendered even when one's membership in the species is most patent.  This occurs in reproductive activity, the Species nature of which is immediately suppressed by the common replacement of 'reproductive' with 'sexual', e. g. the awareness of the principle of Species Propagation is commonly rendered as that of one's 'sex drive'.  This estrangement has been reinforced by the most influential Psychological theory of the past century, Freudianism, according to which the principle of Species Propagation is interpreted as the self-indulging Pleasure Principle.  Thus, while Freudianism is commonly conceived as subversive with respect to a Theological tradition that promotes chasteness, each in its own way suppresses one's membership in the Species, i. e. via the corporeal individual Pleasure-seeker and the incorporeal individual Soul, alike.
