Sexed "no" or sexed-yes, or
"The symbolic
Difference".
Take a Möbius strip
already cut in half.
|

Fig. 1 |
One side is blue, the other red
|
|
Let us
use color to represent mathematically a difference,
a sexual differentiation :
--
red
= female
--
blue
= male
If I
traverse a face with an oriented vector, I note,
once the circuit is completed, I have not passed, I
have not had access to the side which is on the
other side of the ribbon
|

Fig. 2 |
I have traveled only one side |
|
Already,
this figure appears in the crease a certain
duplicity in which I am anxious to be mirrored with
another "myself" (1 and 2)

Fig. 3
Anxiety
redoubled since its utility is to serve me to forget
another duplicity since I am the subject of lack; of
a privation of access to the other side; to the
other side of the tape.
A frightening duplicity of the
"other side" that can be written
1 + 2: Is this one?
is it two?
Is it God?
In which case, my
question remains in an imagery, an imaginary
representation of what appears more imminent and
will hide the other side of the duplicity of the
lack: "What about the other side" (of the tape)?
The other side of me, is it still me?
----------------------------------------
The
other side, we have said elsewhere, is the feminine
However, neither man nor woman
wants the feminine !
This
ruse comes back to taking control of a choice that I
did not have in saying: "I do not want".
What is forgotten is I do not want it
because I did not have access
A
"No" that abolishes the responsibility!
Since it does not look at me, I did
not answer either.
NO !
This is the 'not' of the state
official who is safe and does not risk taking on its
responsibility. He does not respond.
That said, the
redoubling of the imaginary (and in reality) of the
fold (Fig. 3) will occupy the entire field by
anxiety and all sorts of symptoms that will be added
here onto this imaginary other: What does he want?
-------------------------------------------
A "YES" is always an adventure
because it engages the responsibility!
Not only in
marriage, but also in the field of sexual
differentiation as we have said elsewhere the
requirement for a human to save his sexuality, not
as a choice between male or female, but in the form
of sexual-yes or sexual-no.
But
yes-sexual means accepting both sides and then
access them and responding.
That is
responsibility.
How to access the other side?
-------------------------------------
The "YES" is
what makes mono-face and mon-bord, a structure that
was first bi-bord and bi-face, where contraries are
accommodated.
The
"YES" (the black band B) is equivalent to the blue
band in C. These are both Moebius strips,
single-sided and mono-bords.
The YES
commitment once sewn to the NO contaminates any
structure and becomes a total YES.
The
bi-face local finds itself in agreement, confused
with the global mono-face.
The duplicity is
still there, but it is now between the local and
global level of the Möbius strip.
Indeed, locally, the Möbius strip is bi-face and bi-bord.
It is
enough to be convinced to cut a piece from corner
the corner.

But
globally, the Möbius strip is mono-sided and mono-bord.
It is this
agreement of contraries that is called Difference,
and nothing else !
|
 |
If I run
across the band, my vector, in following
along the same side and the same direction,
will pass along the two sides go before
returning to its starting point. |
|
I am then
Male and
Female.
Being sexual is
willing to be sexed-yes and to answer:
Responsible
and
guilty
(Contrary to some
claims that have hit the headlines).
Responsible and guilty only because the cut
has cleared the space to put a "yes" which
makes me responsible !
The difference is
then no longer organized around the choice between
"man" or "woman" but between "man
or woman"
and "man
and woman".

|
It was
therefore a succession of three duplicity (+
as a lesson of good taste):
1 - The two
folds (Fig. 1): Is it One or Two ?
--> Reality
2 - The
other side: is the ego an another ?
--> Imaginary
3 - The local and the
global :
--> Symbolic
----------------
---------------------
4 - To be alone, the way
to discover being inscribed: "sexed-yes"
--> Real
