Well... yeah... the tip of your penis... lol.
When everyone around you believes so closely the same thing, how do you set yourself apart?
Well, one way is to overexpose the most sensitive area of your body in an ancient form of self-sacrifice. On one level, it lessens the sensitivity of the skin. On another, it's just all out there to be seen and touch everything.
What better deep psychological reminder that Yod is the Hermit? That life should be bliss?

Moses didn't want to do it because he'd been schooled somewhere around Egypt, but in the end.... My hunch is that he did have to accept his Hebrewness, or he would have been devoured.

And then, when their mind is finally ready to be unlocked.... they can't escape the connection....
tee hee. It's all about the peepee and vageegee...

Hey! You got a peepee! You can do all the man things you want, but without a vageegee.... you can't truly create life.
You have to have the opposite as well.
