GOSPEL OF THE BODY
NATHANAEL L. NOVERO
LIVING ARTIFACT | Anointed. Activated. Ascended.
DISCLAIMER: The artifacts featured here or in the GOTB Online Magazine and Community are NOT public-facing sermons or statements challenging belief. These are my personal film studies archiving my internal process — with myself as embodied muse or embodied editor — to model embodiment, transmutation through creation, and self-curation as empowerment; to EXPAND the conversation of spirituality and sexuality.
This SOUL-ART page features three essential artifacts that reconcile sex and spirit for the disembodied Christian. A long-standing theological code — one of conquest and disembodiment — is overturned by the embodied Christ in communion.
And now, all that remains is: TO LIVE.
By watching these artifacts alone, your body’s imagination is awakened.
New neural pathways begin to form.
What starts as dissonance gradually gives way to curiosity.
What we once held as shame now bears Christ’s name.
And now, Life ahead of you is now yours to claim.
Christ without shame is AN EROTIC CHRIST.
OLD TESTAMENT ARTIFACT | God in the Body
As a documentary filmmaker, my original approach was to explore feminine connection by interviewing subjects outside the world of pornography. Ironically, the first—and only—pair to respond for over a month were from within it: a homosexual couple, unmarried, and active in the adult film industry.
What I experienced with them turned my theological understanding upside down. In their presence, I also encountered the Presence of God.
This moment revealed something I could no longer ignore: that God is not distant from the body, but revealed through it. That we do not have a monopoly on the meaning of sex—just as no one can claim sole ownership of God. In this revelation, the body became sacred text. Desire became dialogue. And shame began to lose its power.
NEW TESTAMENT ARTIFACT | Holy Spirit and Kundalini
This second film study, drawn from Gospel of the Body | Revelations, recounts my experience of a kundalini awakening—a phenomenon articulated in Eastern and African spiritualities, symbolized by the snake as Divine Wisdom.
Rather than reacting with fear to Christian portrayals of the serpent as demonic, I recognized this energy as the Holy Spirit. I draw a parallel to a Pentecostal church service—via a YouTube clip—to show that these spiritual languages are not opposites, but siblings.
THIRD TESTAMENT ARTIFACT | The Birth of Holy Erotica
This third film study is a trailer for all three Holy Erotica films and lectures—my personal testimony of the Erotic Christ. This work is an initiation ten years in the making, now made public and claimed before witnesses, right here as you read these very words.
This concludes a powerful unfolding logic, both deconstructive and reconstructive. If sex and spirit are synonymous—and both are expansive—then love, as their natural result, must also expand.
The Third Testament marks the Second Coming of Christ in each of us— a moment of self-awareness not only recognized inwardly, but realized outwardly in a lived life. It is the moment we become Living Scripture, not read in text, but experienced in embodied communion.
