The mystique of sex, combined with marijuana and jazz, is intended to provide a design for living.
Those who are sexually liberated can become creatively alive and free, their instincts put at the service of the imagination.
Righteous in their denunciation of all that makes for death, the beat prophets bid all men become cool cats ; ;
let them learn to `` swing '' freely, to let go, to become authentically themselves, and then perhaps civilization will be saved.
The beatnik, seceding from a society that is fatally afflicted with a deathward drive, is concerned with his personal salvation in the living present.
If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.
He will not curb his instinctual desires but release the energy within him that makes him feel truly and fully alive, even if it is only for this brief moment before the apocalypse of annihilation explodes on earth.
