MYSTERY SCHOOL |
OF THE RED LETTERS
-
MYSTERY SCHOOLS are ancient, esoteric institutions that date back to antiquity and have been associated with spiritual and philosophical teachings. These schools were known for imparting secret knowledge, wisdom, and practices to their members, often with the goal of achieving spiritual enlightenment, self-realization, and personal transformation.
Some well-known mystery schools from history include the Eleusinian Mysteries in ancient Greece, the Egyptian Mystery Schools of Thoth and Isis, and the Mithraic Mysteries in the Roman Empire.
While the traditional mystery schools from antiquity have largely disappeared or evolved over time, there are contemporary organizations and groups that claim to be modern-day mystery schools. NOT THIS ONE THOUGH. We don't want to get in trouble with the superintendent of mystery schools. Who I suspect is Jeff Goldblum.

The sexual psychosis of America is uniquely bi-polar, being both hyper-sexual and hyper conservative. For example, in America, If you want to consider a narrative where Jesus had an erection when He saw a nipple, this could be seen as heretical igniting a "firestorm" of cancel culture against you, your children, and your children's children. Thus, you would need a MYSTERY SCHOOL to go down that nipple worm-hole. In Europe, that’s tea conversation on a Tuesday.

To heal from a sexual-religious trauma of my Judeo-Christian roots, my focus is primarily on ANCIENT CHRISTIANITY which includes Kabbalistic Judaism.

To the American Christian, the RED LETTERS represents the words of Christ from red-lettered Bibles first printed in 1901, favored by Protestant Christians in the United States.
To the marginalized woman, the RED LETTERS references Mary Magdalene who is symbolized by a red rose; the holy, sacred prostitute misrepresented in modern Christianity. The RED LETTERS also references "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, which is a book about a woman shamed with a painted red letter: A for "adultery".
But really, I've been using red letters all over my websites. I wrote it whimsically here. Made it red. Then laughed my ass off.

THE KUNDALINI | IN MY OWN WORDS
A MYSTICAL TEACHING DURING TIMES OF EXPANSION
SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM IN EASTERN ART | The kundalini is often depicted in Eastern art as a coiled snake, a fractal symbol representing dormant energy at the base of the spine.
| The image of this mosaic illustrates my religious wounding around sexuality. Adam, the proverbial “first man” in western spiritualism is depicted WITHOUT GENITALS.
This summarizes my Christian upbringing. Without a spiritual narrative that considers my sexuality, I hover between extremes, being hyper-sexual or hyper-conservative. Divided, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—A DUALISM AT WAR WITH SELF.
SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM IN WESTERN ART | The serpent in the story of Adam and Eve can symbolizes the kundalini whose suppression led to shame and spiritual disconnection.
THE ORIGIN OF THE DIVIDED WESTERN MAN
BEGINS WITH A RELIGIOUS SHAME
DIVIDING US FROM SEXUALITY.
RELIGIOUS SHAME HAS AN ORIGIN STORY OF IT’S OWN.
BEFORE RELIGIOUS SHAME WAS
UNITY AND PLEASURE!
THE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS
IS ONENESS WITH GOD.
The process of awakening the Kundalini energy
through spiritual sexuality is akin to
unlocking the sacred code of our being.
AN ORIGINAL ONENESS WITH GOD.
The rise of Kundalini consciousness is a
deepening of awareness. AND.
AN ELEVATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
a return to OUR core essence.
The double helix, representing both
the Kundalini serpent and DNA,
symbolizes a balance of
ascent and descent.
At the heart of spiritual sexuality
lies a DUALISM, mirrored in the symbol
of the DNA double helix.
each twist and turn of the helix/serpenT
represents an EGOIC DEATH,
A CRUCIFIXION-RESURRECTION,
A journey of spiritual awakeningS!
whether ascending or descending.
THERE IS NO WRONG WAY.
We can either hold this cycle
lovingly or with self-hatred.
The choice is yours.
as for me, i choose love.
Because love is how ALL began.
Embracing pleasure
is not destructive.
pleasure requires self-control,
gratitude and safety,
AND maturity of consequence.
THIS unlockS deeper joy
in every facet of life,
far beyond sex.
LIKE CHICKEN ADOBO.
In times of expansion AND OVERWHELM,
our counterbalance is
to ground inTO the body!
remember, we were originally
united with pleasure
ONE WITH GOD BEFORE SHAME.
HALLELUJAH!
SO LIVE! FEARLESSLY. FULLY. WITHOUT SHAME. WITH LOVE.
BECAUSE IT SAVES THE WORLD.

That’s it! THE MYSTICAL KUNDALINI.
In my own words. So who wants adobo?
