A 1953 Buick Driving Through Texas

I remember prairie days

And endless Texas summer haze

Healing, The National Rainbow Gathering, USA, 2008, and Beyond...

We have been blessed by many sacred experiences in life, however,

events that transpired within and subsequent to attending our first

National Rainbow Gathering were so extra-ordinary, that we have

urgently wanted to tell this tale for all of our friends and family.

Our tale may be far from over now, but we…

On another site a curious person writes and asks me about the Temple. "Hi there, I'm interested in learning more about your site Temple Illuminatus, I've been thinking of joining another site, and maybe leaving this one, as I don't have a lot of time to spend online."

I reply "Why are you thinking of leaving here?"

The curious person, "well, all the sites I've been on, this one included, people are so judgemental, opinionated, there's a lot of people that are just crazy or…

But First, a fart joke

But seriously folks...…

Maybe it IS a good thing that show business slowly yet surely eats away at the concept of Fine Art. Put it back in the hands of the folks who really need it I say. And now relatively inexpensive electronic gizmos and internet connections give us equal access and opportunity to run away and join the circus as Fortuna's Wheel grinds yet slower in the most dismal of dispensations.

ENJOY YOURSELF IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK…

Warrior boys

I have always sought them

or them me.

They are not for everyone to see

they hide, in men.

Warrior for some, evokes thoughts

of violence, action, cruelty, and hate

but warriors are nothing of that

it’s balance and peace…

First time in many months I've bothered to take pictures of myself. However, it's been the first time in a long time that I've been out of the house.

Had to go to the Dr.'s, sleep specialist, about my breathing/sleeping issues. It seems even my sleep disorders are disordered, as it's not typical apnea, but some kind of other thing... anyways, treatment approach is the…

NO ACTUAL LESBIANS WERE HARMED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS BLOG.

Like most men ( oh alright, ALL men) I am intrigued by Lesbians. Have you (the men that is) ever imagined yourself as a woman ? But not just ANY woman but a Lesbian woman.Now, if I were suddenly turned into a woman the ex-hetero male in me would not abide sex with a man.(Who knows where that nasty thing has been ?)…

We are many, many beings in many different collectives with many, many bodies in many places, of which our Earthly incarnations and their iterations are only another infinite part...

Here are some of our human members:

Many of these…

Today or in the next few days I'll create a page outlining our policies in regards to everything from free speech, and dealing with controversial humour, controversial subjects, dealing with perceived prejudices and even outright hate literature, etc. To make a more clear statement on my policies and view on this.

To be honest, I've been unsure where I wanted to draw the lines in the sand exactly myself, and how I wanted to really deal with the issues of balancing freedom of…

Before I even get to the 300+ messages in the mailbox, I want to take some time to process, and I do that best by blogging.

I want to start by saying this site and it's members mean a lot to me, and it was hard to be away from it for a few days, but it was also good for me too. I can be very protective and I can also be a work-a-holic and tend to push myself on projects far more than I should. Like most people, in any state of health, if you push yourself too hard, you'll make…

This list is fairly comprehensive of disussions we have started...

We will update with other ciritical discsussions at some point...

(We keep notes in Excel linked to what we work on on here this makes sharing our activities just this easy!)

We thank you all for being such wonderful inspirations and muses...

Enjoy!

Of Shadows, Masks and Candle Flames...

Imagine your soul burning like a candle flame, glowing with warm soft light radiating away in all directions forever, infinitely...

You are the observer, a single ray shines directly toward you, a nearly zeroeth part of the infinitely radiating light of your candle touches you directly in the root of your being.

Imagine a mask hangs between you and this candle flame of your soul.

The single…

Most folks thought the Nancy comics were kind of lame when I was growing up but I was immediately attracted to the surreal quality of Ernie Bushmillers drawings. That and an erotic attachment to Aunt Fritzi that HAUNTS me to this very day. It's not easy being me but that's my problem.  Most of the backgrounds in these are mine. I hijacked the Sluggos (or would it be Sluggii?) and Nancies from old comics. FUN FOR SOME !!!

This by no means indicates a lessening of respect for Iggy but my world is STILL turned upside down after seeing him on American Idol. Maybe the Mayans were right and the world IS ending. They did have quite a long bleeped out section where Iggy let fly but for the most part it was the IG which is enough to warp ones sensibilities. Anyway, a brief tribute and an invitation for your tyake on this portentious…

Lone Eternity

Now it is dark, it is dark, it is dark, it is dark here...

Have I no light with which I may feed the night???

It is so dark, oh so dark, oh so dark and cold here...

This tiny fire I hold scarcely warms my heart...

Still, on the hills all around burn so many, many fires,

and I can hear in the night... voices from their shadows…

Sometimes I have ventured across the…
