Here we are new home. Anyway …
Like most things in the modern western culture, the s&m/b&d scene is a distorted version of what is a healthy spiritual/physical dimension from both childhood and shamanistic practices. What I call veer [which is totally different from normal pain] has always been one of the main ways to enter the altered reality. But during the 1800’s, the fat stealers created s/m-b/d as a distorted mirror image of the church by linking veer to sin, guilt, punishment, forgiveness, power, humiliation … all of which is totally alien to both child games and shamanism. Sometimes, in my 24-hour workshop, I have straight people explore veer by playing with s/m toys … to their shocked amazement, they all have enjoyed it in a relaxed pleasure trance.

Linda will xerox the play and send it to you, Stavros.
Concepts like soulmates can be very dangerous, romantic, and misleading because they imply there is a Mr./Ms. Right somewhere rather than people willing to do the hard, risky, rewarding work of melting/combining their lives together. Even your question suggests she is not willing to combine hers and your lives together … which is, after all, real intimacy … the pagan/Christian issue is a dummy issue of “reasonableness”. What it does is make you think what she does not like is not you … but that jacket called “pagan” that you sometimes put on. This is not the reality. What is being talked about is who you are and who she is. If she doesn’t enjoy, melt into all that you are … and you into her … you’re heading into a doomed script. “Reasonableness” [which ain’t real reasonableness] is really compromise.

It’s time to get caught up on backlogged stories.
Two weeks ago, we visited our friend who has cancer … who was my PT for years. She was in the hospital … not for cancer … but as a result of the radiation treatment. The radiation doctor wouldn’t believe my friend when she said the radiation was making her sick … until they had to take her to the hospital … then he blamed it on the chemical treatment by another specialist. This is the ultimate of what I call the plot of fragmentation.
Anyway, she told me two stories.
Recently, an old couple who have been her patients for many years told her not to come back. They were found dead. For years, they had an agreement between them if the quality of their lives dipped below a certain level, they would go out together. His condition went below that level. Also, the plunge of the interest rates was eating away their nest egg. The kicker is their daughter is dying from cancer. They want her to use their $30,000 to go around the world before she gets sick.
The other story is about a multi-millionaire who made his money dressing department store windows. He started dressing the rooms of dying patients … creating their favorite spot or dream … a skier would be on a mountain … a kid would be surrounded by his favorite cartoon characters.

There are a few bits of grossness …
Both TOWER RECORDS and LEOPOLD’S have pulled ICE T/PUBLIC ENEMY’s lp BODY COUNT because of the song COP KILLER. I half expected it from a chain like TOWER … but I can remember when LEOPOLD’s was “the people’s” store.
A consumer warning … PAY-FOR-VIEW mangles [edits, cuts] some of the movies ……. Not for any censoring reasons, but to time package them. In other words, you do not get what you paid for.
Speaking of mangling, I long ago started boycotting the BRAVO CHANNEL because of its incredible disrespect for both the movies it shows and its audience by its practice of censoring-editing. But we were switching through the channels, and came upon THE WANDERERS, one of my favorite movies, on BRAVO. There are some great lines in the movie on par with “frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” so we waited for our cherished line … “you got to promise not to be an *…. Let me see, how to spell it for genie … is it ^s^h^l^ or a^s^o^e. But now all of you who know of the word, know what I’m saying, so what is the childish magic of not spelling the word straight? Anyway, BRAVO changed it to “you got to promise not to be a JERK.” We were robbed, raped.

Right, Stavros. Linda for one often feels like hitting guys who call women ladies … not because of the word, but because of the superior attitude hiding behind the word. But she knows that censorship or the fist do not change attitudes … only by being the strong person whom she is does she nail shut the prison known as “lady”.
Phil, I wouldn’t dare to use the phrase “my lady” or “my woman” around Linda … or any strong woman … I value my life, and that reminds me … women are perfectly capable of defending their own honor … and of asking for help … don’t you agree, Diane?
Phil, you said the majority of people find certain language repulsive … as if that means it should then be censored. [I don’t believe that majority exists.] Reading through this dialog, it seems obvious that most of us in the dialog strongly disagree with your attitude toward women, etc. Does that mean that you are wrong, that we have a right to force you to change your attitude and manner just because they are offensive to us? I think not.
Blackie, most of what I typed for publication is in all caps … shifting slows me way down. That’s why all caps. My book, CHEROTIC MAGIC, isn’t in all caps just because Kyle and Luna retyped it to their computer.
Stavros, you are right. Language censorship is a powerful tool for the suppression of minorities, women and the lower classes. Historically that is where this language censorship came from … as I talked about in my CULTURAL SUBVERSION and as documented in the book THE SECRET MUSEUM by Walter Kendrick. For centuries in England, the church/state ruling elite kept the important [and therefore dangerous] ideas and knowledge [both the sacred and profane] in the control of the elite … and out of the hands of the common people. This was done by putting this important/dangerous knowledge within the dead language of Latin, accessible only to the educated male members of the elite. This is the source of the casting of the language of the common people as inferior, vulgar, gross, dirty … this kept the common people “in their place”.
I’m off for a week to prepare for my L.A. performance … don’t be too hard on Phil … after all, I may have hired him to spice this up … I’m famous for doing that sort of prank!

Jim, I hope you’ll take Stavros’ generous offer. PASSION PLAY will probably be the last Saturday in January … We’ll nail that date down soon. Obviously the inipi is a “private” ritual for people who “should” be there … I can’t wait to talk to you, body-to-body.
As you described him, Art sounds like the fired NEA chairman Frohnmayer … who didn’t believe in the censorship … but did Quayle/Helms’ bidding … because if he didn’t, someone worse would. These liberal wimps are much more dangerous than the likes of Helms/Quayle … because these liberal wimps create an unreality of “reasonableness” which paints people like me into wild-eyed crybaby crazies. These liberals are the cause/source of most censorship down through history. Joe McCarthy was only in power for a year or two. But the blacklist lasted 20+ years because fearful liberals accepted it, lived in/under it, cooperated with it … even denying it existed. I’m sure that you know better than I do that much of N.A. misery was the result of white “Indian loving” liberals censoring N.A. culture … for the N.A.’s own good.
Jim, what brought you and me together was not Genie, but the magic. We will not lose that connection on any level as a result of battling censorship. A long time ago, I made a vow to not accept any censorship in my work [and Genie is definitely a big part of my work.] On one level, this vow looked at every point of time as if it was limiting my effectiveness, cutting me from communication channels … and people have told me that every step of the way. However, what this vow actually did is it created an access to all communication channels … and this magical access is very hard for the fat stealers to jam or censor. I think what we do here goes beyond R&E, beyond Genie … to create the possibility of a computer reality not controlled by the fat stealers.
