Spirit Sexuality: An Intro

 

I’ve created award-winning films, essays, and prose. Spirit Sexuality is less a creation and more an inspiration, where my life and art inspire each other. The deeper story is in F*ck Pr*de.

 

The most profound love is to embody and unconditionally love both feminine and masculine energies within ourselves and others. It’s falling in love with our inner light, involving radical love, self-acceptance, and empathy.

 

Spirit Sexuality is the art of loving our inner light. It’s an anti-identity that acknowledges and respects the uniqueness of our significant relationships.

 

It doesn’t revolve around gender expression or sexuality, as these are personal and private.

 

It doesn’t discriminate based on age, race, religion, language, or economics. Instead, it’s a formless and adaptable system for relating to our universe and seeking compatible universes to become symbiotic.

 

It’s about designing and maintaining dream relationships. Our lack of awareness and judgment divides us. Reading, listening to podcasts, and journaling deepen our understanding of love, friendship, and romance. It even helps us engage with our pets more intentionally.

 

Apps like CHANI, The Pattern, Moon Omens, and YouTube channels like Magnetize Yourself and The Tarot Ship With Jimmy provide useful information and tools about astrology and shaping our dreams into our destiny. Transcendental Meditation is another helpful technique. 

 

Spirit Sexuality is not linked to a letter, an addition, or an acronym. It’s about liberation, sovereignty, autonomy, agency, accountability, culpability, and heightened awareness of our connections.

 

Some relationships are unsustainable, while others have been lifelong. Now, we’re simply continuing where we left off.​​​​​​​​​​​
