HOLY EROTICA

FILM STUDIES LIVED BY N / O
  • Our nation is fractured by a deep religious-sexual wound, a divide mirrored within each of us. By confronting and reconciling these internal divisions, we heal not just ourselves, but our nation as a whole.

  • I am a former church camp purity pastor and docu-series producer/editor, divorced after a 15-year sexless marriage where intimacy triggered my spouse's suicidal tendencies. This experience gave my fundamentalist theology a life-or-death reality. I was an embodiment of shame.

    Ten years ago, while eating chicken adobo at a restaurant in Queens, New York, I had a dramatic encounter with the Holy Spirit. The words that resonated in my body were clear: "Make Holy Erotica." What did this mean? My curiosity revealed that my fear of feminine sexuality had vanished, but the trauma remained. This Voice urged me to confront it. I needed a camera. When I shoot, I am not afraid.

    With my camera, I could engage with feminine sexuality as I had always respected it—curiously, reverently, and with worship. This integration of Sex and Spirit reintroduced me to a Christ larger than the one I had known—one who spoke the same words: "Make Holy Erotica."

    Seven years later, I found myself in the Philippines, reconnecting to my cultural roots. I began to wonder: How did this journey lead me here? Was I following a divine thread? Reversing my path, I uncovered a profound insight: my religious-sexual wound had severed me from my culture, and perhaps this wound was the nation’s root trauma, beginning on Plymouth Rock.

    My journey led me to produce three erotic short films over a 10 year period, collectively offering me a unique Dharma—what I call the Gospel of the Body and the Erotic Christ. This expanded my Christian faith beyond indoctrination, teaching me love across the lines that divide us.

    Erotic filmmaking helped me discover my Authentic Self and embody the Heart of Christ without the constraints of traditional teachings. The alignment between my Heart and Body became my North Star in a post-truth world. This journey led me to a new understanding of Holiness—holding both the "holy" and "unholy" in reconciliation, without judgment, in the Heart of Christ.

    Your embodied Authentic Self and the worlds you reconcile are a literal revival for humanity. It is Christ on Earth. You are invited here to find Embodiment and Alignment through Eroticism—because this is what saves humanity. This is Revival.
