I just got back from exercising and I'm smelly and icky. I'm also too hot to hop into the shower yet and I want to write, so this is me maximizing my time.
After like five days in guy mode (and a mixture of the two) I'm back in girl mode. Right in time as my new tee shirts just arrived! One's a Misfits shirt and the others a "Dracula" shirt, as in the old Dracula from 1931. It's delightfully nerdy and death-rock. Squeeeee!
Oh, yeah, and my complex spiritual evolution is going swimmingly. Anyway, I just finished reading Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire. Now I've just begun on Pilgrims to Openness: Direct Realization Tantra in Everyday Life. On deck I have Modern Buddhism - The Path of Compassion and Wisdom Vol 1-3, Tantra: The Supreme Understanding and The Book of Secrets: 112 Meditations to Discover the Mystery Within.
I've been reading The Book of Secrets in bits and pieces in it's online form. Osho describes Tantra as a feminine practice as the counter to yoga, and he says that it's best practiced by those with a feminine and introverted temperament. Lord Shiva is often depicted as being half man and woman. Devi asks Shiva "What is your reality?" but really Devi is the female aspect of Shiva.
Being bigendered it's easy to see why tantra appeals to me.
There's so much I want to say, so many things that I've realized, but I still smell and my brain needs a break. Oh, and I have new clothes to try on. yay! Another happy post.
