Art has the magical power to give provoke emotional as well as intellectual thinking

My desire as an artist is to create compelling images of beauty and power that serve to promote our conscious evolution as human beings.

I have discovered that the more intensely personal my vision is, the more universal its appeal

My wish is to tap into the divine source of being, to consciousness, to spirit, and to bring into visual awareness some images of the knowledge revealed

To this end I like explore themes of Awakening Consciousness, Divine Sexuality, Political Realities and Living in Harmony with Nature.

Brother Francis, what is perfect joy?

“The question is: Who is this whiny one inside us who wants to be happy all the time? In the Muslim tradition, that whiny one is called the nafs, which is the greedy soul. You can also call it the insatiable soul, the rapacious soul. That’s who’s running the war in Iraq right now, for example. The Sufis say the nafs is part of our ancient animal-soul, which is determined to have food, power and sexuality and to stay alive, even to the detriment of those closest to us. So our spiritual life is a constant battle between the part of the soul that loves others and the part of the soul that will gladly eat them up in a moment.”

Overview

Vesta rules devotion, sexuality and health. Known as The Virgin and The Sister, Vesta represents the powerful woman who sees beyond the scope of herself. Her motivation is the goodness and fulfillment of a greater cause -- an uplifting of the soul or the education of a generation. Mother Teresa and Princess Diana both demonstrated Vesta's concern for the masses.

cultural assumptions about sex

Durham explains that the Lolita Effect thrives because of five widespread cultural assumptions: that sexuality is (1) for public display; (2) defined by a narrow or nonexistent ideal; (3) the property of youth; (4) more exciting if it is violent; and (5) about male dominance over females. Most of the book challenges these assumptions and develops strategies to help girls and their parents resist the Lolita Effect.

Here are at least four things I've been warned by others (but interestingly, never my employers) not to discuss in public until tenure:

1. Sexuality and sexual politics

2. Labor issues at the university

3. U.S. sanctioned military activities

4. Disability issues in general, and mental health issues in particular

Now, according to Dr. Anonymous at MiddleGround U., I should add to these the following:

1. Interest in technology beyond Microsoft Word

2. Passing familiarity with anyone else on the internet who might overstate the scope or importance of my research

3. Feelings about the passing lane.

Transgendered woman wins landmark case

A transgendered woman, who lost a job offer because of her sexual status, has won a potentially groundbreaking federal sex discrimination lawsuit.

A federal district court judge in Washington, D.C., ruled today that the Library of Congress discriminated against Diane Schroer when it offered her a job and then rescinded it after learning she was transgendered.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Schroer, said Judge James Robertson's ruling is the first to hold that the federal sex discrimination statute, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, applies to transgendered people.

"It is tremendously gratifying to have your faith in this country, and what is fundamentally right and fair, be reaffirmed," Schroer said. "I very much hope that this ruling will help to eliminate the all-too-pervasive discrimination against sexually nonconforming people in all areas."

You Fornicated At Your Own Peril

clipper's remarks: "It's cool that the filmmakers explore the beginnings of the gay and lesbian pride movement, and how the Stonewall uprising of 69 was the watershed moment in the movement. But it would've been nice if the directors had acknowledged that it was black and Puerto Rican drag queens such as the late Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera who got things started back when the cops showed up at the Stonewall Inn."

In days gone by - many days gone by - we as a nation were a buttoned-up lot, having sex but never copping to it, repressed and reactionary. Good girls didn't do it, not unless they'd signed on the dotted line, crossing the great divide between Mrs. and Miss. Good boys never did it with other boys. The bad boys who did were thrown in jail, diagnosed as sick and probed with electrodes in an effort to "cure" them. Throughout much of the country, interracial marriage was illegal, as was birth control - even for married couples in Connecticut. Fear ruled. You fornicated at your peril.

But after Alfred Kinsey, the 60s, the Pill, Stonewall and Roe vs. Wade, something changed: Now people were doing it and talking about it.

So where's the full conversation in "Sex: The Revolution"? Perry says he wanted to explore the legacy of lynching victim Emmett Till and the lethal fear of black male sexuality.

clipper's remarks: continuum of sexuality

Clip Source: www.huffingtonpost.com

So, women find the female body more attractive. Interesting. Yet slightly obvious. But Dr. Chivers' point is that there is "a growing body of scientific evidence that places female sexuality along a continuum between heterosexuality and homosexuality, rather than as an either-or phenomenon."

"To conclude that women are bisexual on the basis of their sexual responding overlooks the complexity and multidimensionality of female sexuality," she wrote in her paper. She did allow that the apparent flexibility of women "may be related to greater potential for bisexuality in women than in men."

Archuleta Lives! Fans Still Rabid.

Earlier this morning, Slappy and I posted about Claymates. There is a new phenomenon equally disturbing (if not more so).

Now, David Archuleta had a buttery voice that was pleasant to listen to, but his stage presence was frightening, combining a PTSD stare with frightening attempts at feigned sexuality. His fan base was rabid from the get-go; I’m sure his fame overwhelemd the introverted, timid, child-like lad.

Well, David may have only been runner up in American Idol Season Seven (!), but he is still number one in the hearts of his fans (Archiephiles? Chus-ers?) And behold, the following fan site:

Man. I never had that kind of devotion from my own parents.

I sort of don’t get it, because I am old and cynical, but there is much awesomeness to behold.

Not understanding the whole Jonas Brothers thing either,

Torture porn

clipper's remarks: PZ's excellent insight on today's "horror" movies.

Clip Source: scienceblogs.com

I was rather disappointed in my browsing to discover what passes for a horror movie nowadays: an entirely predictable plot with no character, each new movie vying with each other to achieve greater and greater levels of violent torture, usually of young, attractive women, and no genuine creativity at all.

I have to agree with Trish Wilson: these movies aren't horror or thriller movies at all, they're torture porn. What is wrong with people that sexuality has been jumbled up with the idea of the graphic inflection of mindless torment on women? Who wants to see a movie that consists of nothing but scenes of humiliation and pain and that always seem to celebrate the monstrous rapist/murderer as some kind of franchise hero?

Gait may be associated with orgasmic ability

clipper's remarks: There are several plausible explanations for the results shown by this study. One possibility is that a woman's anatomical features may predispose her to greater or lesser tendency to experience vaginal orgasm. According to Brody, "Blocked pelvic muscles, which might be associated with psychosexual impairments, could both impair vaginal orgasmic response and gait." In addition, vaginally orgasmic women may feel more confident about their sexuality, which might be reflected in their gait. "Such confidence might also be related to the relationship(s) that a woman has had, given the finding that specifically penile-vaginal orgasm is associated with indices of better relationship quality," the authors state. Research has linked vaginal orgasm to better mental health.

The study provides some support for assumptions of a link between muscle blocks and sexual function, according to the authors. They conclude that it may lend credibility to the idea of incorporating training in movement, br

A new study found that trained sexologists could infer a woman's history of vaginal orgasm by observing the way she walks. The study is published in the September 2008 issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine

Subjects completed a questionnaire on their sexual behavior and were then videotaped from a distance while walking in a public place. The videotapes were rated by two professors of sexology and two research assistants trained in the functional-sexological approach to sexology, who were not aware of the women's orgasmic history

The results showed that the appropriately trained sexologists were able to correctly infer vaginal orgasm through watching the way the women walked over 80 percent of the time

Further analysis revealed that the sum of stride length and vertebral rotation was greater for the vaginally orgasmic women. "This could reflect the free, unblocked energetic flow from the legs through the pelvis to the spine," the authors note.

A MAN is fighting for his life in hospital after being stabbed seven times by a gang of youths during a brutal homophobic attack in London.

The 20-year-old victim was with a female friend outside a gay-friendly pub in Shoreditch when they were surrounded by five teenage boys.

They verbally abused him before smashing a bottle over his head and stabbing him seven times in the back and torso.

Police believe the victim was targeted because of his sexuality and have launched an attempted murder investigation following the attack last Thursday near the George and Dragon pub in Hackney Road.
