CONQUEST < COMMUNION

“The GOD OF CONQUEST hijacked our religions, our nations, and our histories—leaving humanity spiritually raped and disembodied. A wound shared by both the oppressor and the oppressed. It is a global trauma that has effected everyone. Until—

I had an embodied encounter with the Holy Spirit—a Kundalini awakening in the middle of a filipino restaurant in Queens. I was given a haunting vision that pierced time and space, a Magdalene transmission, through the body of a woman, but visualized and speaking through mine: “Make Holy Erotica.”

Immediately in my body, I felt my sex-spirit split fused together. I was fearless and erotic. But my trauma-conditioning remained. To follow the voice, I needed a hack around my nervous system.

So I returned to my childhood craft—filmmaking—not as observer, but as subject; from storyteller to living artifact, archiving memory as footage. To create, then unmake. To see the artist beyond the art, a man outside of his conditioning, a distinction between the body-mind and the mind’s-body.

The camera bypassed my nervous system. The edit created new neural pathways. The raw footage revealed forgotten memory. Self-reflection evolved into a method of pattern-breaking—blending Hegelian dialectics, Taoist paradox, and sacred story. I called it a Christ Code. This entire

process became an Epistemology of Somatic Artography. By deconstructing the filmmaking medium, I deconstructed my trauma. But not just that. The conditioning of conquest which has gripped the globe. Through the thoughtful curation of my autobiographical content, I recreate the path of my own Ascension, restoring embodiment and communion and recognition in one another. . The artifacts, I call HOLY EROTICA, are showcased in EROSTOCRAT, an online magazine in development and its community—The Church of Holy Erotica. This is what I’m doing

Like the artifacts of this website, embodiment questions slow down the content creation/consumption experience inviting reflection and connection to Source, to oneself and to one another. The responses provide a binary code, a “Source Code” that I consider sacred, which makes Erostocrat a modern-day Noah’s Ark—an archive of what is embodied, not simulated; of what is Truth in a post-truth, disembodied world; an oasis of authenticity, a remembering of sex and spirit as synonym in communion with Source, a return to Eden.

This 10-year journey has forged my teaching dharma, Gospel of the Body—a counter-force to conquest—introducing distinctions of a GOD OF COMMUNION, an EROTIC CHRIST, and REVELATIONS to push us into a New Heaven and a New Earth.

STORY | What’s causing this?

I began as a filmmaker, a student of story, and a youth minister—devoted to God, marriage, and the American dream. I had the house, the job, the status. But behind closed doors, my marriage was sexless. Any attempt at intimacy triggered my wife’s suicidality. Arousal became a life-or-death event reinforced by PTSD. I became the embodiment of shame.

That contradiction cracked something open in me. One in five American marriages are sexless, yet no one calls it an epidemic. I did. I had to ask: What’s causing this?

So I left everything—my marriage, my faith, my certainty—to follow that thread. What I found, I now share to fuse the sex-spirit split in the initiating issue of Erostocrat and the Church of Holy Erotica Mighty Network community

SPEAKER-HEALER | DISRUPTOR-PRODUCER

Nathanael Novero is a producer-editor for 25 years with a film degree from the University of Southern California, an O.G. YouTube influencer, a development-production company owner, a former church camp pastor with seven years in professional ministry, church planting, a ten-year apprentice and facilitator in transformational healing space, and ten-years of erotic film work.

With what he produces, Nathanael disrupts with precision. Both as creator and what he creates, Nathanael carries a frequency of Christ—a transfigurative axis between paradoxical opposites: sex and spirit, sacred and profane, trauma and transcendence.

Whether in space or place, or in being the face, Nathanael embodies the archetype of the EROTIC CHRIST, to burn as an unmistakable distinction that has been missing from the zeitgeist, demanding reality to adjust, spiritualities to adjust, and conquest and all of its systems to fall.

DHARMA | Pre-Conquest + Ancient

Nathanael’s spiritual ancestry includes deconstructed Christianity, Pre-Conquest ancient Christianity, Christian mysticism, Taoism, Native American, Meso-American, Kabbalistic Judaism, Pacific Island spiritualities, Rose lineage, and Kemetic spirituality.

Nathanael weaves deconstructive theology with somatic intelligence and mythic pattern recognition. His story-guided process moves through contradiction, inviting listeners into a path of thesis, antithesis, and sacred synthesis—a paradox integration he names the CHRIST CODE.

His approach is both an artographic excavation of trauma and truth and a didactic path of remembrance—where story, sensation, and spirit converge into embodied knowing. As a storyteller, he uses deconstructive theology and ancient story to resurrect what is of Source.

EROTIC CHRIST | THE THIRD TESTAMENT

Anointed by God. To disclose a Revelation.
Revealed to me through fire and loss, from wound and resurrection.
”The Kingdom of Heaven is here. And it is in the body.”

I offer the Gospel of the Body and the distinction of the Erotic Christ
A God of Communion and Embodiment. Of pleasure, not suffering.
I spark Revival—kundalini awakenings and the embodied ravishing of the Holy Spirit.

I offer my life’s work, Holy Erotica, artifacts of love and longing, an Ark of codes,
To remember Christ not only as sacrifice, but as sacred pleasure,
To midwife the return of God in the flesh. Through us, as Living Scripture, as Third Testament.

OFFERINGS | announce. activate. arouse.

  • We are ALL experiencing the aftermath of spiritual rape because of conquest in the name of God.  These three spirited talks address the same wound, to WAKE US UP out of conquest conditioning, back into embodiment and communion.

    CONQUEST/COMMUNION — Disembodiment/Embodiment
    Conquest in the name of God takes, exploits, and dismembers—leaving all disembodied, including itself. But Communion in the name of God is the opposite: God reconciles. God heals. God loves. God creates. God gives. God is sex and spirit as one, nourishing all—including itself.  The God of conquest cannot create life. That is why it must conquer. But the God of Communion is life. That is how we know it is Source—the original thought, the seed of all things.

    REVELATIONS — National/Religious/Global Trauma
    Let it be said clearly, with both love and fire:  Jesus had sex.  Mary, the mother of Jesus, had sex.  And both were met by the Holy Spirit.  Sex was never the blasphemy.  The lie that separated sex from Spirit is.  And let this also be known:  Heaven and Hell are not eternal destinations.  They are metaphors.  Heaven is union—in the body.  Hell is exile—from it.

    GOSPEL OF THE BODY — Sex and Spirit are Synonym
    The good news is—God is real.  And the Kingdom of Heaven is in the body. The Second Coming is already underway.  It is you—as the Erotic Christ—born into divinity through pleasure.

  • The Kundalini Awakening and the Embodied Holy Spirit of the Pentecost are the same phenomenon; a burst of energy amplified with people of like frequency. These events are co-hosted with my partner Dr. Kristina Kincaid to usher in spiritually-embodied Aliveness, an event worthy of big tent revivals, summer festivals, and stadiums. We start with grassroots events—with mystical circles, churches, retreat centers, conventions, anywhere and everywhere.

    The Holy Spirit is in the body, our Comforter, to be awakened when Christ returns as YOU. The kundalini is an aliveness, dormant at the base of the spine. When awakened, it moves up each vertebrae with a hole in the shape of the Ark of the Covenant, the dwelling place of the Shekhinah.

    It’s time to wake up! Let’s do this.

  • Holy Erotica, the online magazine, is both an online community and a curation space of artifacts, my lived experience from conquest conditioning into Ascension.  The exhibit slows the pace of content consumption—inviting connection, reflection, and reverence. Each offering becomes an encounter with Self and Source, cultivating a deeper embodiment and a return to communion.

    It is a container of Christ love, a transfigurative axis of paradoxical opposites, where the profane becomes pure, where the sex-spirit split of conquest becomes synonym, and we find Home again within our bodies. When the divide within is healed, the divide outside of us is no more.

These are my offerings from three different fronts. The MIND, announcing the Revelations and new distinctions through speaking. The BODY, activating spiritual-body awakening with live events. The SOUL, arousing the public with artifacts transmitting and preserving a Source Code via the online magazine. Tell others about me. Watch me. Book me. Pray for me. It’s Hero-time.

ARTIFACTS | the story of the study

The curations here trace the life of my Canon 6D—a secondhand camera that captured my first Holy Erotica film and took its final shots as I finished the last. Over an 8-year span, I was pulled between fragmented documentaries, my narrative lost in the process. Rarely appearing in my own footage, I struggled to find my arc. Filming became my escape from the development hell my life had become—until the camera died.

As an editor with over 20 years of experience, I’ve always seen value in raw, unpolished artifacts. I tried revisiting my work as artifacts, and this changed everything. I saw myself—Nathanael, unproduced, unedited. Finally, I can see the story I’m living. Free from the weight of unfinished projects, I began to see not just my story but a bigger picture.

My body of work emerged as a deconstruction of filmmaking itself—a medium reframed to unpack trauma and conditioning, not just for me but universally. When the blinders of trauma and conditioning fell, Through curating these artifacts, I uncovered a guiding thread of wisdom, hidden in arousal. A voice of God. The that has led me for 8 years like a divine voice—an impossible escape made possible.

| My camera, Darrel Canon. Thanks, buddy. Good times.

MY STORY THROUGH ARTIFACTS |

PURITY TRAILER | Study of Deconstruction

This video artifact is a study in deconstruction. I began by turning my camera to my religious roots—specifically purity culture—as a micro lens on the larger religious-sexual wound. This investigation evolved into TOUCHPODCAST.NET, a five-year campaign that led to live events and multiple documentary development deals that ultimately went unrealized. Our podcast became a key player during the purity culture fallout, about 25 years after its peak, exposing the overlooked crisis of disembodied intimacy within American marriage—cracks largely ignored by those in them.

Being with people with the same wound was important as my theology fell apart. I worked hard on this content, because it kept me from being alone. FIND YOUR TRIBE. DON’T HEAL ALONE.

This investigation revealed a long-term consequences of the sex-spirit split indicative of Western spirituality — spiritual disembodiment.

KUNDALINI | Study of Embodied Spirit

This video artifact is a study of the kundalini. My life-changing experience with the embodied Holy Spirit sent me on an investigation. What happened to me? Who is telling me to “Make Holy Erotica?” Christian mysticism led me into eastern spirituality. But my desire for something science-based found comfort in my then-mentor Dr. Kristina Kincaid, anthropologist, theologian, healer, and author.

She also archived her healing journey and allowed me to work with her footage, a process that profoundly connected our disjointed lineages in an embodied way. Her dharma — the kundalini is the Holy Spirit — awoke dormant codes in me, an Egyptian pyramid memory. Instead of focusing on Egyptian lineage, I focused on Mesosamerican as she did, which had less conquest distortion and a deity that resembled the Holy Spirit, Kukulkan, a winged serpent. A dragon.

My experiment of using film to heal trauma superseded my expectation—filmmaking IS an agent of ancient memory; a technology of magic.

HOLY EROTICA | Study of Arousal

This video artifact is a study in arousal. It features a trailer of my first three Holy Erotica films, each with a profound embodied teaching mirrored in the footage I lived : (1) sex and spirit are synonym. (2) As synonyms, both sex and spirit expand. (3) When sex and spirit expand, love expands.

These films are my initiation. What started as a means to confront my fear became a baptism into Christ embodiment. The camera, a tangible boundary for beholding and worship, mixed with my longing, alchemized into the gaze of God. I was erotically satiated, nourished, and abundantly overflowing before I realized what was happening.

I walked a Christic life, never taking, sometimes receiving, cherishing each kiss like ointment on my wounds. Showing the films was exponentially profound, an erotic giving-receiving exchange that felt both impossible and undeniable. It is God. Working with arousal was the biggest twist of my life, the alchemy of lead to gold, the homecoming of an orphan, a return to spirituality, but embodied; a remembering of who I am. God in the body.

KABBALISTIC JUDAISM | Study of Broken Lineage

This video artifact is a study of broken lineage. My first short film Just For One Day had a world premiere at a mystery school lead by Dr. Marc Gafni, a controversial former rabbi who taught esoteric teachings, and the partner of Dr. Kristina Kincaid.

This artifact captures the real-time moment I first heard of the Ark of the Covenant as erotic art.  I had already experienced this in my body when I produced Just For One Day.  This was affirmation.  It opened me deeper into Kabbalistic Judaism. But this ended when Gafni’s interest in me was only to do a documentary on him, to exonerate him from scandal.  I considered a hit piece, secretly, but I couldn’t. His teachings were true, and I still loved him as a brother. Nonetheless, his controversies were not mine to clear. 

I felt heart-break afterward, when he didn’t dignify my existence in his continued teachings and interviews. The man who accepted me, rejected me. Despite premiering my work. I felt an irrevocable break from his lineage. I felt lost and undignified, until I discovered my lineage in the indigenous, which would later prove to be a cleaner, truer signal pre-dating conquest.

GUNS AND SEX | Study of America

This video artifact is a study of American psychosis around guns and sex.  On March 2020, a white evangelical gunman killed 8 Asian women in an Atlanta spa associated with sex work.  As an Asian American man, I remember feeling more empathy towards the disembodied Christian gunman than my Asian sisters, and this concerned me. I shared the shooter’s same life/death theology that shamed sexuality. But I felt no connection to my own ancestry.

In respect, I visited the location, and I continued my work in the erotic, and made an unexpected discovery. Working with the erotic to heal my religious-sexual wounds naturally reconnected me to my cultural roots; to Hawaii, the Philippines, and a profound spiritual connection to all indigenous people conquered by conquest. By reversing this arc, I saw what I can’t unsee: the Christianity of conquest spiritually rapes us, severing us from cultural and spiritual Source.

Suddenly, the contradiction of America’s celebration of guns while shaming sex became profoundly clear.  Dr. Mark Schoen, a sex educator, mirrors my conviction in this artifact, a prologue to a Holy Erotica film screening. Here, I gently open the door into esoteric mystery through the contradiction of guns and sex.

PURIFIED TRAILER | Study of Story

This video artifact is a study of story. I was contacted by the producers of the NPR radio show Embodied. They heard about my Holy Erotica work and featured me with two women in a purity culture episode which became their top episode at the time. This inspired them to create a live story slam event around purity culture.

This was huge. I told our documentary producing partners this would happen. As a producer myself, I was hesitant to fake events. I didn’t want to manipulate or fake or call in favors, then embellish in the edit bay. This wound was too real. As the healing would be too. So I waited until it was natural and alive. This was it. Unfortunately, this was not enough to get our producing partners to send a camera crew. So I had to loose my storytelling slot to do everything myself—filming, directing, editing—to carry the scope and importance of this healing container.

I never got to tell my story from stage as originally planned. It was something I craved, to be witnessed. To feel something embodied and real. Not produced in the isolation of an editing bay. Again. I poured my longing into this, to make their moment shine. When the development deal didn’t pan out, it hurt. Why am I telling everybody else’s story but my own.

EROSTOCRAT | Study of Self

This video artifact is a study of Self. After spending years partitioning my footage into three separate documentaries, neither focused on me, and having multiple contracts signed, splitting my footage—my life—into different creative partnerships, they all gradually expired, and the footage came back to me.

For the first time, I felt the energetic freedom to re-examine everything as a whole, to find myself in the footage. So I produced a trailer-like introduction of my own story and started at the beginning, with my filmmaking.

The process was tender. I was backlogged with years of self-filmed interviews. It was painful to commit to one starting point. I constantly worried whether or not it was okay. An internal producer voice kept barking at me, “What are you doing? Edit what we want to see! Not you!”

I needed the tools of my trade and the discipline of the craft to keep moving. I had to remember. To edit. And it hurt. This exercise was a literal rebuilding of myself, a weaving together, through which a larger narrative began to rise, and a deeper memory. An ancient one I’d never dare to imagine.

COSMIC RETURN | Study of Integration

This video artifact is a study in integration. After all that I had experienced from purity culture, to my apprenticeship, into Holy Erotica, being rejected, undignified, led on, I was ready to tell my story, but my way, by resurrecting an old Youtube persona.

When Youtube began, I was CIFGUY, a featured YouTuber influencing and crowdsourcing before “influencer” or “crowdsourcing” were terms. After five years and a devoted fan base, I disappeared without explanation. Fifteen years later, I returned sharing a heartfelt update on who I am now. I wanted to know what this story would sound like, but through me. What is here?

I posted this just before the full eclipse in Arkansas 2024. As a child, I read stories of the eclipse at Mayan temples, which seemed cosmically and geographically impossible to wish for. Now, I was intimately close to the narrative, and it seemed to follow me. It came. What I felt was karmic. Oneness. I felt power. A portal into the new. Something of God is here. Little did I know. Everything I I felt was not from the eclipse. It was me.

RECONCILING SEX AND SPIRIT, BECAUSE WE MUST.

EMBODIMENT ARTIFACT | Study of Activation

This video artifact is a study in activation. It features a demonstration filmed in the Netherlands with my healing partner, Dr. Kristina Kincaid, who I apprenticed and worked with for 10 years. What you are witnessing is eroticism as energy, a re-enactment of the Holy Spirit coming alive in the body, otherwise known as the kundalini. The events we hosts are containers of 70, but we can host more. This is the work we do, igniting God in the body.

This workshop is a “Shaktipata” experience. Shaktipat refers to a spiritual practice in Hinduism where a spiritual teacher or guru transmits divine energy to a student, essentially initiating them into a deeper spiritual path by "awakening" their inner power, often described as "Kundalini Shakti" - meaning the "descent of divine grace" in Sanskrit; it's considered an act of grace from the guru to the student. In Christian terms, this event is known as the Pentecost, or the “descent of the Holy Spirit”.

WHAT IS A LOVE ECONOMY?

A "love economy" is a system where love, compassion, and positive social interactions drive exchange, prioritizing community well-being, ethics, and sustainability over traditional profit and competition.

YOUR MONEY | your promise

For those who join the GOSPEL OF THE BODY online community, which is a public space, there will be spaces that require payment, like the online magazine, screenings spaces, and community rooms. For these spaces, currency has a different intention.

It’s said that money can’t buy love, and love shouldn’t depend on money. But both are forms of currency.

This campaign emerged from my desire to heal, connect, and experience my eroticism in a safe, sacred way. It is embodied communion to counter the dis-embodiment of conquest. Money didn’t factor in. Integrity does. Your honesty—and everyone’s honesty—is what makes these spaces Holy Ground.

Your payment is a promise: a commitment to be your Authentic Self in this space. Our Authentic Self can scare us.  Too often, we lie not to purposefully deceive, but to protect those we love.  Even protect ourselves.  Unfortunately, by hiding this from others, we enter unsafe spaces, paying too high of a price we can never take back. That’s why—

Your payment is a promise: a commitment to be your Authentic Self in this space. Our Authentic Self can scare us.  Too often, we lie not to purposefully deceive, but to protect those we love.  Even protect ourselves.  Unfortunately, by hiding this from others, we enter unsafe spaces, paying too high of a price we can never take back. That’s why—

—HOLY EROTICA IS NEEDED.

It exists to protect you and those you love. It’s a revolving door—come, go, return—until you’re ready to embody your true self, your Christ-Self, to be a truth barometer for a post-truth, post-evangelism world.

Money can align with love as a love economy, a space for the expression—not exploitation—of eroticism as spirit, of communion over conquest, reclaiming the holiness of the body, and our image of God for a disembodied world.
