  First comment, but not my first read.I love your blog; you have great inghsit and I absolutely love the world from your view. T-dar. I have been having a bit of that at the office lately. A new sales agent at work has my sirens going off. The long hair-the hairless arms and the scruffy look. A lot of male trans that I’ve known seem to pay no mind to their appearance unless they are dressed in heels and lipstick. I want to ask but I know that I won’t. I’ll probably find a way to tell him that my boyfriend is a girl in pink sweatpants with “SPOILED” written on the back.

  Hello Jan,Interesting thoughts about sexaul surrogacy; it’s not quite what I had in mind, and I recognize this as being one of the great missing terrains in therapy. And, problematic as it may be, sex workers often do fill in the void to the extent that it’s filled.However, there is something that’s commonly being referred to as tantric practitioner’ that is blending some of the consciousness process of therapy with direct sexaul experience. In 1997, I was keynote speaker at the Celebration of Sacred Sexuality in Harbin, CA. The creator of the conference, a psychologist named Deborah Taj Anapol, invited me to speak about the astrology in a presentation that I called Leaping Across the Sky about the aspect of Chiron square Uranus (Scorpio to Aquarius, with its obvious contact point between group awareness and relational sexaul awareness). There is an article by that title in Google somewhere. This came about after I had Deb on my then-weekly radio program, Radio Navigator on WDST-Woodstock.After the conference there was a meeting of people who were actively doing sexwork. Even at that time I considered myself a sexworker because as an astrologer I was (and am) available for the discussion of sexaul subject matter; I work within the tradition of sexaul enlightenment and liberationism; and at conferences, I was (and am) available for my compersion workshops. About 50 other people showed up for this meeting, which was in the main lodge to accommodate it. These were all people who, on some level, had stepped up to the challenge of offering themselves as those who could directly help raise sexaul awareness with those coming in from the public. Some of them were available for sex sessions; others, like myself, were writers, consultants or taught at programmed events. It was at this conference that I met a woman I would go on quite a journey with Maria Henzler, my first erotic photography partner. My point being that this is a significant, loosely organized movement, though one that is fortunately not regulated.I think we need to start on this level unlicensed, uncertified, from an older tradition. This helps level the power imbalance that might be associated with any kind of authority granted permission by the state. Group environments help diffuse that power as well. I think the place to begin is on the peer-to-peer level. There are some people who are just good at helping others unravel their sexaul material; it’s what they do whether they intend to or not (including people who draw to them those who are wound up and want to let go). I also think that art and writing are an excellent vector for ideas and conveyance of the energy picture’ of how this process works. That is what I am doing with Book of Blue. You really need pictures to get this idea across, if you want to talk to the side of the brain that does not parse logic.There are many people who are naturally gifted sexaul healers. Some of them come to me for readings and have for years (including a good few women who are sexworkers already, or who want to go into the business) needing some confirmation of what they are feeling or sensing; that their inner knowledge base is real; that they are not dreaming. There is still plenty of shame associated with feeling this calling, and there are very few frameworks within which gaining an understanding or gaining information is possible. Needless to say I see a strong Vesta placement in almost all of these people. When I did a study of the charts of sex workers at an aqua massage’ brothel in Belgium, very few had Vesta prominent (it was the Moon that stood out in those charts, leading me to observe the boundary differences, and other differences, involved).And difficult power dynamics are still possible, within a society wherein most people are convinced that sex must always have a victim. This is going to be the first thought we exchange for something else, along this journey.ef

  yes. I showed up, sat down and said: I don’t need trhpaey. I work with people, so I know. You’re a psychologist and I need information that your education might provide.She said, okay, tell me the story. And I told her the story of my mom, which she cut off after about three minutes, politely and confidently, stop stop I get it. Listen to this. Your mother has classical narcissism. It is a disease, like cancer or leukemia. You don’t really exist in her mind; you’re just an extension of her, useful as long as you support her beliefs, and useless otherwise. Your personality formed around her narcissistic personality, as an extension of it, which is why you have so little confidence in who you are.That set me free. We talked briefly about my plan to go to Europe (to go for Cainer’s old job at the Daily Mirror). I ended the conversation by saying, Well, with Europe, once you’re there you’re there, and she smiled and repeated that back to me; I never came back to Seattle. I lived in Europe nearly four years. Note, I cannot find her name to thank her.Next: one of my clients is a psychologist. During a marketing episode with one of our lists, I got some incredibly mean, condescending, infuriating responses from spiritual readers of Planet Waves. I knew I needed the help of a professional psych so I asked her if she would help. She said, send me the stuff, I’ll look it over. Sarah in my office culled all the replies, bound them up and we sent them to her. She scheduled the call for the next day, and a minute before I called I got a Big Clue the people writing were insisting that they were better than me.I got my psych client on the phone and said, I got a big clue but I want to listen first. What’s with these people? What is their issue? She said: nost of them have two things in common: paranoid projectors; and deep narcissistic wounding. In the space of ONE minute, I was free. I was free of the influence every asshole who writes to me and tells me my writing is great but they don’t want to pay $1.69 a week for it. The people who obsess over my words and they complain, or haggle over $1 a month. The ones who say your astrology is great but your pictures/other writing, etc. reveal you as [whatever].She explained: you feel pain when these people write to you BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO TO YOU.Holy living fuck.The rest, she said, want to be wooed and seduced. They need attention, so give them attention. A bunch of the rest are married to poverty and don’t think they can afford two bucks for something they love forget it. And don’t worry, Planet Waves will reach critical mass and the money will come. Which it mysteriously started doing after that conversation.To my psych client/friend (who has paid me for a good few sessions to hear my theories about psychology) I love you. Thank you so much.I have another amazing psychologist friend who has been nothing but kind, helpful and nourishing, another very smart woman, who among other things got me into the . I know some great psychologists. I have reverence for the power and beauty of this art when it’s in the right hands.
