SOMATIC ARTOGRAPHY

THE DISEMBODIED-TO-EMBODIED PROCESS

The following videos, presented here as artifact, spliced together with footage I’ve lived, confronting the questions that scared the snot-fire out of me, are examples of SOMATIC ARTOGRAPHY, a process that I had to find to convert years of my disembodied experiences — stored in hard drives like memories in the body — into embodied knowing. What was required was a reverse-engineering of filmmaking. What was discovered was a deconstruction of conditioning. What was gained was a remembering and an awareness of our nation’s fifth Great Awakening.

Below are some of the videos produced, along with my Holy Erotica film studies, that resulted to the concepts and perspectives that I openly share through the magazine artifacts and my regular social media posts.

  • A half-hour film study, begins as an unexpected take on America’s failed sex education and unfolds into a profound dismantling of a conquest code—the worldview that weaponized shame, distorted sovereignty, and reshaped Western theology.

    Through personal storytelling, cinematic montage, and clear distinctions between conquest and communion, the film reframes the teachings of Christ as a transfigurative axis of paradoxical opposites, not a tool of domination, but a code.

    Moving from national history to embodied awakening, from treaties to trauma to erotic integration, the piece reveals how healing begins in the body and ends in collective remembrance.

    Ultimately, it invites viewers to recognize the Erotic Christ as a living code within themselves, and points toward a new cosmology grounded in mutual sovereignty, communion, and love.

  • It was during a spontaneous encounter with the embodied holy spirit that I felt God speak through my body with words so clear that it shifted reality itself for me.  “Make Holy Erotica.”  Over the next 9 years, I produced a number of short erotic films learning what Holy Erotica is, from my first encounter to Magdalene Remembered.

    This video marks a return — to myself, and to a story I needed to tell my way. After moving through purity culture, a healing apprenticeship, and a reintroduction to indigenous culture beyond my religious-sexual wound — along with lived rejection and loss followed by love and recognition and recognition in Christ — I revived my old YouTube persona, CIFGUY, to share who I am now.

    Posted just before the 2024 eclipse in Arkansas — an event I once dreamed of as a child — a cosmic moment that felt like a profound homecoming. But what I felt didn’t come from the eclipse alone. It came from both outside and from within.

I was lost in my footage, until I was found.

ABOUT CURATION

MISSION

WHAT IS A LOVE ECONOMY?

LOVE ECONOMY + CAPITALIST SYSTEM

A LOVE ECONOMY is organized around relationship rather than extraction. Value is generated through care, trust, and mutual benefit, with exchange designed to strengthen community well-being, ethical responsibility, and long-term sustainability. Success is measured by wholeness—human, ecological, and cultural.

A CAPITALIST SYSTEM, by contrast, is organized around accumulation and competition. Value is defined primarily by profit, efficiency, and growth, often abstracted from human or ecological cost. Relationships are instrumental, and well-being is secondary to productivity and scale.

Where capitalism incentivizes scarcity, ownership, and dominance, a love economy incentivizes reciprocity, stewardship, and participation. One is from lack, the other is from abundance. One treats connection as a means to conquest; the other treats connection as the end, as communion. Where capital externalizes harm, love internalizes responsibility.

Both the Magdalene Remembered film and the magazines (Gospel of the Body and Holy Erotica) were created out of love and shared from that abundant place, already nourished by creation. Your offering is received as metaphor for your embodied presence and participation, versus disembodied consumption. This is a relationship with self, with others, and with Source.

Here, donations are not asked for, but received.

  • What is universal is the need for orientation—knowing where the body begins when old beliefs collapse, where sex leads when shame dies, where God is seen when religion breaks.

    This magazine isn’t prescriptive, evangelical, or answer-driven. It’s cartography: a record through the dissolution of inherited myth and the reassembly of an embodied self, and a memory that is needed now:

    I believe the current spiritual awakening alive now is an embodied erotic one, reversing the limitations of shame into a liberation of sovereignty — the anti-thesis to a normalized unsustainable entitlement over body and the earth.

FOR A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH.
