And it is here, that we find the most striking connectivity with psychoanalysis and yoga. Freud did not expound sexuality as something repressed, or deprived. To the contrary, sexuality is constantly spoken of in one way or the other, however, in such ways that it becomes evident, that no one really knows anything about it.
This is due to the father's phallus being the subject of explanation, namely just the one that the son cannot substitute in regard to his mother (Oedipus complex).
It happens to be the symbol of privileged pleasure, a specialty that is due to none other than the father, unless the son ascribes the ability and power of fatherhood, the symbol of power as such to himself. The lingam is nothing more than the vivid representation of the father mythos, of the in-the-name-of-Father, of that echo - rhetoric which hides behind those thousands of mirror - scenes that attempt to illustrate what it means: being a father, having paternity, P, A, T, E, R, causality-real.
This is exactly where the 'feminine object' fits. Women don't only have a single organ as an object of pleasure in foreground. They rather are fascinated by several 'objects' (almost in the sense of Kant's 'things as such'), such as greatness, title, importance, beauty, strength etc. "feminine object" When early mankind erected huge stones, it wasn't to honor sexual potency in general. It was a privileged potency, a paternal, symbolic one, because erecting such a stone awakened the stone to life! Building a pyramid brought the cosmos down to Earth.1
But would someone attempt such a feat nowadays, we would insinuate infantile megalomania, rightly. It isn't sufficient, nowadays, to erect large stones, nor to only believe in paternity. Interpreting oral, anal and phallic potency allows the patient in analysis to discern between infantilism and non-infantilism, between mania and reality, which leads to the same results as uprightness through meditation and Yoga do. Nowadays, it is necessary to write psychoanalysis / yoga, a complex formula of uprightedness.
