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.

  1. SEX AND SPIRIT EXPAND - DISCOVERING GOD IN THE BODY

  2. SPIRIT AND SEX EXPAND - HOLY SPIRIT AS KUNDALINI

  3. LOVE EXPANDS - THE EROTIC CHRIST

KABBALISTIC JUDAISM | Old Testament Eroticism

This artifact marks my encounter with God while filming what I had once been taught was sin. My first Holy Erotica film captured a raw moment of embodied communion between two women who, at the time, worked in the adult film industry. That experience confronted three core beliefs I had inherited: (1) that sex was only holy within marriage, (2) that it was only holy between a man and a woman, and (3) that sex exchanged for money could never be holy.

I only paid them for an interview, yet even that small transaction blurred the lines enough to make me question whether God could truly be present. But what happened was undeniable. I felt the Ark of the Covenant in my body—a symbol of the Old Testament that means nothing less than the Presence of God, in the body. The memory lives in me still, visceral and embodied, testifying that holiness cannot be confined to the categories I once believed.

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.

Artifact 012022 | CHRISTIC POSE + SHIBARI ROPES + PROJECTION

Metaphoric Visual Self Portrait: The crucifixion of my sexuality.  This models a Christic-Self awakening in my somatic artography, an alchemical embodied step reconciling sexual shame with Christ through art.
