ENLIGHTENMENT THROUGH TRUE VADA
Back in the late 1960s the BBC radio comedy show Round the Horne brought camp characters and polari, the secret language used by many gay men of the time, to the British nation. The gay innuendos and sexual references went over the head of most listeners, but shone a light on a queer underworld forContinue reading “ENLIGHTENMENT THROUGH TRUE VADA”
On Addiction
“We are human beings. And a human being has a divine creative intelligence. One way or another that creative intelligence is going to find an outlet. If it can’t find an outlet through the imagination, which is its natural route, it will find it in a concretized way. That becomes compulsive because there’s no wayContinue reading “On Addiction”

Why The British State is Crumbling
We are living in a false reality, a fake dream of separation, competition and scarcity. This dream has been imposed and its days are ending.

Alan Watts: Lightness of Touch
Chesterton once said that, because they take themselves lightly, angels can fly. One sees so many faces dulled by a seriousness which, if it were born of grief, would be understandable. But the kind of seriousness which drags man down to the earth and kills the life of the spirit is not the child ofContinue reading “Alan Watts: Lightness of Touch”

Why Men Have Nipples
“The material world is all feminine. The feminine energy makes the non-manifest, manifest. So even men are of the feminine energy. We have to relinquish our ideas of gender in the conventional sense.

The Queer Spiritual Inheritance
When I write and speak about the commonalities between the spiritual roles often taken by same-sex loving and gender-fluid people in traditional cultures around the world and also in pre-Christian Europe I tend to feel like I am delivering ‘news’, releasing a perspective little known in the world. However it is no new discovery IContinue reading “The Queer Spiritual Inheritance”
Shokti on Shakti, the Holy Spirit

IN BETWEEN

IT NEVER MEANT ABOMINATION
‘TOEVAH’, the word from the ancient old testament that gets translated as ‘abomination’ and that has been used to condemn (sometimes to death) gay men around the world for centuries, actually refers to the PAGAN PRACTICES of the many tribal peoples that surrounded the Hebrews 3000 years ago.
