12'03 Does America realize the consequences of forcing Russia into China's arms? Op-Edge by @27khv )article
"In 48 months we have gone from a prospective giant Western alliance, with Russia at its centre, to a situation where Russia is now ready to possibly join an Eastern alliance led, to all intents and purposes, by China.
...For years commentators have speculated: 'imagine Russia's resources and military power with Western Europe's technology and fiscal heft?' It would, of course, be the single most powerful economic and martial bloc in the world. Not only that, but such a rapprochement makes complete sense and has done since 1991.
However, it is Washington's worst nightmare. An EU-Russia alliance and partial union would erode America's influence in Europe. Hence, to knock it on head, just as it seemed Germany was warming to the notion, the US has managed to drive a massive wedge between Moscow and its natural allies in Europe.
Before they clap themselves on the back too loudly, the Americans might want to pause for a second. In pursuing this haphazard course, they've managed to send Russia hurtling into China's warm embrace.
Thus, cutting off their nose to spite their face. Instead of allowing a tri-polar world, the US in control of the Americas, China in Asia, and a giant Eurasian alliance as a buffer – Washington has managed to create a much more confrontational bi-polar world. In the blue corner, the USA and a castrated, divided Europe which is being pulled in all kinds of directions and in the red corner, a resurgent China and a Russia that, most likely, would prefer to be in a different corner altogether, or none.
This is the way the US State Department wishes the world to be – in a constant state of chaos. Now, instead of a US-EU-Russia detente, they have managed to manufacture a new Cold War for the 21st century with Ukraine as the new Berlin.
With Russia alienated by the West and China eager to buy high-end weaponry, a joint military pact seems the likely outcome. Concurrently, the previously zombie-like NATO has awoken like a pensioner who was discovered house music and fancies a last youthful dance.
If a Moscow-Beijing military alliance does take shape, such a bloc would dominate the Eurasian landmass, with naval bases all the way from the Baltic, via the Arctic and Pacific, to the South China Sea. A union between Russia's advanced weaponry and China's huge population and industrial muscle would eventually prove a match for NATO, thereby giving the US an excuse to ratchet up military spending. If Europe attempted to follow suit, it would likely deepen its economic malaise. The main point is that the whole notion is such an incredibly wasteful use of finite global resources.
The confrontation between Russia and the West is a gift that keeps on giving for China. Just as the self-destruction of the Euro-centric world a century ago allowed the building a new US-centric system, the weakening of the US will probably result in China becoming the world's leading power. Europe's last chance to stake its own claim, has evaporated into thin air thanks to a bone-headed, subservient (to Washington) strategy in eastern part of the continent. Europe's inability to separate the European Union from the archaic NATO has been its undoing."

11'28 DMT and the Bible – an )interview with Rick Strassman by Jeffrey Kripal
12'07 "That's the beauty of DMT in some ways – it's such a pure pharmacological effect, that any preparation or biases are moot." Rick Strassman
RS: "it was not an hallucination, a dream, or similar to any previous psychedelic drug experience. they couldn't accept any models that viewed what they had witnessed as anything other than what it appeared to be: a free-standing, objective, external alternate level of reality as real or more so than everyday reality. while the 'brain on drugs' model was not outright rejected, it was accepted only with the caveat that the newly reconfigured brain was now able to see this objective external that it was incapable of so doing before. the DMT world was revealed, not generated.
JK: that is a beautiful way to put it: the hidden world was 'revealed, not generated'. that, of course, is a major move, as I think most assume, on some level at least, that these experiences are generated by the brain. that they are 'hallucinations' of some sort – mere projections of a hopped up brain. this same move from illusory neurological production to real revelation, of course, is what Huxley was getting at in The Doors of Perception. drawing on earlier authors like Henri Bergson, he suggested that the mescaline was not 'producing' this encounter with the real. the mescaline rather was suppressing the brain-filter and letting it in. again, a key move. okay, so what was the second factor?
RS: the second factor was the highly interactive nature of the experience. the sense of self was maintained, perhaps even to a greater extent than normal. the DMT world was full of content, in particular 'beings' of great power, intelligence, will, and sentience with whom the volunteers exchanged all manner of currency – emotional, intellectual, physical.
...the first two things that struck me about the prophetic state were its highly interactive nature as well as its acceptance by the experient and the larger culture as being as real, if not more real, than everyday reality. these were right in line with the DMT effect. only later did the superiority of the prophetic model begin to appear, that is the richness of the prophetic message, its informational content, relative to that of the DMT or any other psychedelic drug experience."
...I was as surprised as anyone that the Hebrew Bible provided such a good model.
one thing led to the other, and I fell in love with the Hebrew Bible, its world view, its notion of prophecy, and its expositors. I was forced to learn about God, as the text ascribes to God the creation and maintenance of the natural and moral laws by which our minds and bodies are able to access prophecy. it also teaches that God is the source of the prophetic experience, its originator, the final arbiter of who attains it, the source of the information prophecy contains, the explicator of that message, and as in our previous discussion of miracles provides proof of a prophet's legitimacy.
who is this God? what is its nature, how does it operate in the world, how does one live in accordance with its wisdom, love, power, will, and so on? these never were academic questions, nor were they questions that I had to face as being a member of a religious institution. rather, they were solely personal, experiential, not one-step removed, even though I was led to them by the one-step-removed world of clinical research."

08'26 Why Are Psychedelics Illegal? (week 8 of my Terence McKenna column for @VICE) )article
"Terence McKenna viewed cannabis, psilocybin, DMT, LSD, and other psychedelics as 'catalysts of intellectual dissent.' he wrote in The Archaic Revival (1991) that his assumption about psychedelics had always been that they were illegal 'not because it troubles anyone that you have visions' but because 'there is something about them that casts doubts on the validity of reality.' this makes it difficult, McKenna observed, for societies – even democratic and especially 'dominator' societies – to accept them, and we happen to live in a global 'dominator' society.
McKenna often used the words 'partnership' and 'dominator' to refer to types of societies and relationships. Riane Eisler, whose work McKenna often praised, coined these terms. in The Archaic Revival, McKenna wrote: 'recently Riane Eisler in her important revisioning of history, The Chalice and the Blade, has advanced the important notion of °partnership° models of society being in competition and oppressed by °dominator° forms of social organization. these latter are hierarchical, paternalistic, materialistic, and male dominated. her position is that it is the tension between these two forms of social organization and the over-expression of the dominator model that is responsible for our alienation. I am in complete agreement with Eisler's view.'
to better understand why, in McKenna's view, psychedelics are illegal, it may be helpful to examine why the world today operates on a dominator instead of a partnership model, and what exactly these terms mean. to do this, we'll examine Eisler's work, which (like much of McKenna's work, I think) exposed egregiously overlooked and deliberately suppressed aspects of history and nature. in her book The Chalice and the Blade, Eisler argued that for the majority of at least the past ~32,000 years, humans lived in partnership societies, within a global partnership culture – a way of life that is almost unimaginable today.
The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler, 1987
Eisler introduced the terms partnership and dominator via her Cultural Transformation theory, which proposed that 'underlying the great surface diversity of human culture are two basic models of society.' in (1) the dominator model, half of humanity is ranked over the other half. because this bias involves 'the most fundamental difference in our species, between male and female,' it then becomes the basis for all other relationships (and, I think, probably even experiences). in (2) the partnership model, diversity isn't equated with inferiority or superiority; instead of 'ranking,' there's what Eisler called 'linking.'
In Eisler's view, the dominator/partnership dichotomy is neither ideology-specific (both capitalism and communism can, and have, operated with dominator values) nor gender-specific – both women and men can, and do, embody dominator attitudes. McKenna praised this aspect of Eisler's work in particular. he said in The Evolutionary Mind (1998): 'I don't see it as a male disease. I think everybody in this room has a far stronger ego than they need. the great thing that Riane Eisler, in her book The Chalice and the Blade, did for this discussion was to de-genderize the terminology. instead of talking about patriarchy and all this, what we should be talking about is dominator versus partnership society.'
while it's often assumed that men have historically been the dominant, oppressive sex – which would potentially debunk Eisler's gender-neutral theory – that is incorrect. Eisler showed that the dominator model that now exists globally, and which is arguably led by the United States, a country with 44 consecutive male presidents and vice presidents, is a recent development. from ~35000 BC (the earliest that 'so-called Venus figurines,' as Eisler called them, have been dated) to ~5000 BC, humans exemplified the partnership model. there was neither patriarchy nor matriarchy.
as McKenna wrote in Food of the Gods (1992): 'Eisler used the archaeological record to argue that over vast areas and for many centuries the partnership societies of the ancient Middle East were without warfare and upheaval. warfare and patriarchy arrived with the appearance of dominator values.'
evidence of this partnership way of life was discovered, among other places, at a site called Catal Huyuk in Anatolia. excavations uncovered a period of time from ~7500 BC (at the time Eisler's book was published excavations had only uncovered back to ~6500 BC) to ~5700 BC. the archeologists found 'no glaring social inequalities,' a matrilineal and matrilocal social organization, and that 'the divine family of Catal Huyuk' was represented in this order of importance: mother, daughter, son, father. more than 40 of the 139 rooms excavated between 1961 and 1963 seemed to have served as shrines. 'the religion of the Great Goddess appears to have been the single most prominent and important feature of life.'
Eisler wrote: 'it is also true that in Catal Huyuk and other Neolithic societies the anthropomorphic representations of the Goddess – the young Maid, the nature Mother, and the old Grandmother or Ancestress, all the way back to the original Creatrix, are, as the Greek philosopher Pythagoras later noted, projections of the various stages of the life of woman. also suggesting a matrilineal and matrilocal social organization is that in Catal Huyuk the sleeping platform where the woman's personal possessions and her bed or divan were located is always found in the same place, on the east side of the living quarters. that of the man shifts, and is also somewhat smaller.'
Eisler added: 'but despite such evidence of the preeminence of women in both religion and life, there are no indications of glaring inequality between women and men. nor are there any signs that women subjugated or oppressed men.'
why, then, ~7000 years ago, when the dominator model came into existence, was it women – and not men – who were oppressed? the answer, Eisler showed, is in the observation that only women give birth. prehistoric humans, noticing that new life entered the world exclusively from the female body – which then nourished and cared for that new life – apparently developed a religion/worldview that was centered around the worship of a female deity. Eisler used the word 'worship' with the qualification that, 'in prehistoric and, to a large extent, well into historic times, religion was life, and life was religion.' women and men alike worshipped a female abstraction, which Eisler called the Goddess.
this continued even after the development of agriculture and the creation of the first civilizations, ~10,000 years ago: 'we find evidence of the deification of the female – who in her biological character gives birth and nourishment just as the earth does – in the three main centers for the origins of agriculture: Asia Minor and southeastern Europe, Thailand in Southeast Asia, and later on also Middle America.'
for 3,000 years after humankind condensed into civilizations, people continued to worship the Goddess and live peacefully. Eisler observed that 'practically all the material and social technologies fundamental to civilization were developed before the imposition of a dominator society,' meaning that war is evidently not, unlike 'what a Pentagon theorist will hold,' necessary 'for technological, and by implication, cultural advance.' Eisler called this 'one of the best kept historical secrets.'
it wasn't until ~5000 BC that the dominator model appeared in the form of 'nomadic bands' from peripheral areas that attacked the preexisting civilizations, which were all partnership societies. defense mechanisms like trenches and ramparts – previously nonexistent – gradually appeared. 'these repeated incursions and ensuing culture shocks and population shifts were concentrated in three major thrusts,' wrote Eisler, calling these 'Wave No. 1' (4300-4200 BC), 'Wave No. 2' (3400-3200 BC), and 'Wave No. 3' (3000-2900 BC). 'at the core of the invaders' system was the placing of higher value on the power that takes, rather than gives, life,' observed Eisler. as the dominators conquered, they also began to suppress the old way of living, which meant suppressing worship of the Goddess, which meant the marginalization of women in general. the Goddess, and women, Eisler claimed, 'were reduced to male consorts or concubines. gradually male dominance, warfare, and the enslavement of women and of gentler, more °effeminate° men became the norm.'
Eisler wrote: 'after the initial period of destruction and chaos, gradually there emerged the societies that are celebrated in our high school and college textbooks as marking the beginnings of Western civilization.'
the last partnership civilization was the Minoan civilization, which, Eisler observed, is usually not mentioned in courses on Western civilization. the precursor to the Minoans arrived on the island of Crete in ~6000 BC, bringing the worship of the Goddess with them. for ~4,000 years, the Minoan civilization thrived, showing 'no signs of war' and 'a rather equitable sharing of wealth.' they decorated their homes and public buildings with 'an artistic tradition unique in the annals of civilization,' and had four scripts. in Minoan Crete, Eisler quoted a scholar in her book, 'wherever you turn, pillars and symbols remind one of the presence of the Great Goddess.' based on her research, it seemed to Eisler that the mythical civilization of Atlantis, which Plato described in the 3rd century BC, was 'actually the garbled folk memory, not of a lost Atlantic continent, but of the Minoan civilization of Crete.'
by 1100 BC, Eisler wrote, 'it was all over.' the dominator model, in the form of a patriarchy, had completely gained control. women, previously equal to men for at least ~30,000 years, suddenly began to experience a lesser status. they were marginalized in Ancient Greece, whose democracy 'excluded most of the population (giving no participation to women and slaves).' in Eisler's view, 'much of what was finest' in Ancient Greece – 'the great love of art, the intense interest in the processes of nature, the rich and varied feminine as well as masculine mythical symbology' – could be 'traced back to the earlier era' of Minoan Crete. remnants of Goddess worship also survived into Ancient Greece, in the form of the many Greek Goddesses, but these were all subordinate to Zeus. things deteriorated further until they reached a kind of culmination in the Bible, with the Old Testament explicitly proclaiming, Eisler observed, that 'it is God's will that woman be ruled by man.'
Eisler wrote: 'if we read the Bible as normative social literature, the absence of the Goddess is the single most important statement about the kind of social order that the men who over many centuries wrote and rewrote this religious document strove to establish and uphold.'
the next ~2,000 years, until the present, can be seen as a gradual recovery – with increasingly dangerous setbacks, now that war involves massively destructive weapons – from the sudden infiltration of the dominator model, which has, since its appearance, been in a constant process of both consciously and unconsciously destroying and suppressing evidence of the original Goddess religion and its various revivifications throughout history.
today, unless you're a member of an indigenous tribe like the !Kung in southern Africa or Bambuti in Congo, you probably live firmly within the global dominator culture. Eisler wrote: 'to us, after thousands of years of relentless indoctrination, this is simply reality, the way things are.' McKenna observed that, in dominator societies especially, people aren't encouraged to question their behavior or why things are how they are – which is what psychedelics, among their other effects, reliably cause people to do.
as McKenna said in 1987: 'psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing. they open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.'
on that thought, I encourage people to get stoned and read The Chalice and the Blade. or get stoned and listen to 'Man and Woman at the End of History,' a multi-day discussion led by Eisler and McKenna that was serialized on the radio in 1988. in the discussion, McKenna introduces the role of psychedelics into Eisler's theory. Eisler, at one point, compares McKenna's oratory style to fireworks: 'you illuminate so many things so quickly then pass from one to another.'
I'll end this week with an example of this, from the same discussion: 'we are now being told that we are in the midst of a tremendous political crisis that goes under the banner of °the drug problem°. but the drug problem is an addiction problem. and the addiction, in my mind, is the addiction of intelligence agencies to vast amounts of untraceable money. this is the addiction which drives the global drug problem. but of course it is true that there are chemical dependencies. and this is a very interesting thing about human beings. something – and I'll talk about this a bit more tomorrow – but something about our ability to be omnivorous, to eat all kinds of things, has lain us open to, perhaps manipulation is too strong a word, but certainly to evolutionarily selective pressures that are not ordinarily present. most animals eat a few foods. many animals eat only one food. our ability to be omnivorous has exposed us – over the last four, five million years – to a vast number of mutagenic and synergistic compounds that may have been responsible for such things as the prolongation of adolescence in our species, the way in which lactation occurs.'"

07'27 The Persecution of Psychedelic Spirituality: The 'War on Drugs' is Hysteria )article
The Psychedelic Community as a New Religious Movement
"the word psychedelic was coined by Humphry Osmond in 1957, its etymological root is meant to indicate the 'spirit-revealing' or 'soul-manifesting' nature of the chemicals concerned.
we know, beyond all doubt, that many of the users of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, DMT, Mescaline and Psilocin Mushrooms claim that these chemicals cause them to have experiences they describe as spiritually significant: usually in terms of allowing new spiritual insights about the nature of their being and its relationship to experience and the world, or in terms of some kind of spiritual healing effect.
many, if not most, individuals who repeatedly use psychedelics do so with a primary motivation to explore the spiritual benefits of psychedelics: it is therefore, a part of their spiritual lives. many of those individuals feel that the drugs themselves are sacred gifts, they use drugs like LSD to bring about experiences and states of being that are somehow 'spiritual', 'mystical' and 'divine'.
all around the world, right now, there are individuals who are using psychedelic drugs. not just individuals though, there is an increasingly cohesive and open community of psychedelic users: all united by the shared belief that they have been benefited by, and will continue to benefit from, psychedelic drugs.
is it not conceivable that this community of individuals, who use the same sacraments, share similar spiritual motivations, and hold similar core beliefs represent a new religious or spiritual movement?
it is, essentially, a 'New Religious Movement' (NRM) that is not allowed to become an organised religion. it cannot be given a name, nor can its places of communal gathering be made too explicit. it includes a great variety of belief and practice: but then the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism, even Christianity all show a great variety of forms and expressions also. it has its own set of texts, but none are adopted as dogma, there is no canon: but then many of the historical forms of human spirituality did not have a canon either. it even has its own unique forms of artistic expression and aesthetic style, rife with themes of transcendence and spiritual discovery.
in Europe, especially in the summer, there are certain festivals attended primarily by the psychedelic community. at these festivals, an obvious form of neo-shamanism manifests itself: complete with music, dancing, and mind-altering chemicals, components of many shamanic traditions from all over the world. in fact, these festivals are becoming increasingly popular all over the world.
one of the implications of the continued growth of psychedelic festival culture is that the community of psychedelic users is becoming, with the help of the internet, more organised and more cohesive. furthermore, now this 'spiritual movement' has community meeting spaces, with their own rituals, traditions, codes and conventions. at these gatherings there is a very strong sense of this community – people care for one another and help one another to have an enjoyable time, there is a sense of shared purpose and unity that is enjoyed by many when the psychedelic community meet.
some might say 'this isn’t spirituality, it is just hedonism'. verily there are some who attend psychedelic festivals 'just to have fun', but there are others who feel, nonetheless, that psychedelic chemicals are an important aspect of their spiritual lives. furthermore, who is to say that spirituality cannot be fun? mystical texts from all world religions, including the bible, speak of ecstatic and joyous experiences that are encountered on the spiritual path: the Old Testament even describes singing and dancing as a result of spiritual attainment.
when I walk down the street of Oxford on a Saturday night I see fighting, I see people throwing up, I hear glass smashing: people become rude, inconsiderate, violent. I have never seen a fight at a psychedelic music festival, I don't see people stumbling around and throwing up, what I do see is people having the time of their lives and forming lasting bonds with people in the process.
returning to the issue though, the psychedelic community needs to consider how it can go about becoming recognised for the legitimate spiritual movement that it is so that it can enjoy the same acceptance and according protections that are afforded to other religious communities.
in the mean time, psychedelic spiritualists will continue to be a persecuted and oppressed minority religious group. for walking their spiritual path, they face imprisonment, with all the hardships and consequences-on-life that are entailed by it. let's have a brief look at how this persecution came about.
Christian Puritanism and Moral Panics: 'The War on Drugs' as Hysteria
we must recognise that for the last thousand years (and then some) the population of Europe has had its native religious/spiritual practices oppressed by the 'dominator religion' that is Christianity. wherever Christianity went it systematically destroyed any competing forms of spirituality: often through violence. in the background, that force is still an undercurrent of our society.
think about it. the American political system is still so obviously fixated on the values of Puritanical Christianity: that kind of 'good Christian wholesomeness' that is expected of any presidential candidate, the obsession with 'sexual misconduct' on the part those in the public sphere, and wariness of the many other things deemed viceful within the puritanical Christian tradition. is it a coincidence that this moral panic, this 'war on drugs', has come from a country whose dominant spiritual power is a form Christian puritanism?
like the witch-trials, the 'War on Drugs' is another hysterical moral panic: something is judged as evil, all 'the good people' respond with unspeakable inhumanity.
a moral panic, and not the first. can we think of some other examples from history where the Christian majority have deemed something to be 'evil' or 'morally wrong' and responded with unspeakable violence? the witch-hunts, for example, which also took on a distinctive ferocity midst the North American puritans. the Inquisition, a few hundred years of torture, persecution, inhumanity: based on a response to what is perceived to be an evil.
perhaps you think this comparison might be a little too extreme, it's not like we're burning people at the stake or torturing them, right? but we do lock people up: vast swathes of people (usually the most socially disadvantaged) all in response to the supposed 'evil' of drug-use. as in the inquisition, we interrogate people, we use fear and intimidation to make them betrays other human beings: is it not torture to go through a judicial system and be locked away for decades of your life?
the 'War on Drugs' is just another inquisition. the 'Holy/Good people' exercising hegemonic domination over 'the evil people', and in the process performing unspeakable evils themselves.
is it not an evil thing to do this to an individual? it is a harmful action after all, to lock them in a prison for years on end. is the act of imprisoning someone for using psychedelics not, in fact, more evil than that individual's 'offense' of using psychedelics?
when an activity carries risks only to oneself, does that make it unethical? if so, are horse-riding and mountain climbing unethical to? clearly then the idea that drug use is morally wrong cannot be based on the risks associated with their use. if it is not a moral wrong, then to punish people for it is not just, and is unethical.
the 'War on Drugs' will be viewed by historians as just another silly moral panic, a hysteria that got carried away with itself, but a hysteria like never before. a hysteria fueled by new mass-media technologies, a hysteria on an unprecedented scale, and one which does an unprecedented amount of harm.
it is interesting to consider the extent to which Puritanical Christianity has been embraced by, what some might consider to be 'the new dominator religion', Capitalism. and the extent to which spiritual movements which are perceived to be a threat to capitalism are marginalised, and in this case, forbidden.
Conclusion
the psychedelic community, as it stands, is a new religious/spiritual movement. its members are subject to persecution and oppression, as they have been for the last fifty years.
much of modern drug culture is simply an extension of much older spiritual traditions. modern Britain has new sacraments now, and its tribal dances are to dubstep from massive sound-systems.
this 'war on drugs' is just a part of a millenia-old pattern of 'organised religion' dominating more spontaneous and experiential forms of spirituality. it manifests the values of the puritanical religious fanaticism which has come to dominate American political culture.
if our Right to Religious And Spiritual Freedom is to mean anything, then it must accommodate entheogenic and psychedelic compounds, which are an important component to many forms of spirituality.
one source of hope is the increasing unity of the psychedelic community around the world.

09'22'12 Musing on how and if I should write a book )blog post
"these books have sold in their thousands, millions. and the sort of tale they represent is fake. no more than a kinky twist on the classic romance...it's exactly the sort of fairy tale that we are brought up to believe expresses the sum total of female desire: only sexed up in an 'exciting' kinky fashion.
...other people have examined the phenomenon of why it has done so well (note especially this article discusses why women love it, I wonder how many men have read it and what they felt).
...it's easy to criticise. almost everyone has, criticising the book and the antics around it has become some kind of hobby. it's turning into a confusing mess, including domestic abuse charities burning the book and problematising ideas around female sexuality, BDSM sexuality and whether you must have deep-seated emotional issues in order to be a sexual sadist.
...we talked about descriptive language and how I would have to give these as-yet-unknown-readers the words to let them imagine what my experiences had looked like, felt like, smelt like. because – and this is something that we kinksters, especially those of us snug in the bosom of London, forget – most people do not know what it is like. most people have not worn rubber, or been to a BDSM club, or even had a threesome. most people are vanilla. most people are straight – in sexuality and in outlook. that isn't a criticism, but it is a reminder. that the types of explorations we do are not the norm and so when I write I need to bear that in mind.
...the thing I'm going to write has to be real, on some level, because that is the selling point of the story I am offering.
not a fantasy. not a fiction. but an expose of what it is really like. of how you find out you are kinky, of what happens next, where you go, what it looks and feels like. what that first trip to a fetish club does to you, what that first sensation of being tied up, or tying up means. and that's where I began to hesitate. if I do use the material here, I'll need to write more, and more concrete, descriptive things. I'll need to use my own history, my own background as a source and really bring the reader into my life. I'll need to open up more, reveal more and also at it's most basic: write more.
I am a very good editor, here, on the blog. I give you only the choicest morsels. little, tasty tit bits. a couple of hours of my life, here and there. I don't give you much context, just straight to the good stuff. I know what you like. I also know that this blog isn't world famous, that I don't get thousands of hits and that my private life, for all my public writing, is still very much that. private. sure, there are naked pictures of me on various BDSM sites, and if you really worked at it you could connect the dots. expose me. but why would anyone bother?
...as much as I take pride in who I am and what I do I also know how upset my parents would be if they knew about this. how sad they would feel. how anxious and frightened for me, how ashamed, how disappointed in me and in themselves. that they had somehow let me down, or that my life will be unhappy, incomplete. that it must be if I feel the need to do things like this. we're back to the argument of 50 Shades again where Christian Grey's sadism has its root in his abusive upbringing. that in order to be kinky he must lack in other areas – emotional fulfilment is beyond him. that question I've been asked by several people outside of the scene: how can you do that with someone you love?"
