Higher Vibrations of the Lower Regions
By Harlequinn • Nov 6th, 2007 • Category: Blog“So what’s it going to be about?”
The “It” that my friend was referring to is this little corner of Good Vibrations cyberspace that is to be occupied by my bloggin’. The expression on her face gave every indication that a noncommittal shrug was not an appropriate response to the question.
For the record, writing is not something that I think about. It is just something that happens when I sit in front of my keyboard with a thought in my head. Seeing as I never know what thoughts are going to occupy my head at any given point in time, my friend’s question seems to indicate that there is some general expectation of a plan of some sort. So, if there is anyone out there reading this who shares her expectation, there is a fair amount of disappointment in your future. For me, writing and planning are mutually exclusive.
That being said…there is no way for me to tell you what this blog is about. I can, however, tell you that in pondering the question posed to me by my exasperated friend, the thought that comes to mind is this: How do I apply my tendency to probe for the lofty and often hidden philosophical nature of things to something as visceral and raw as sexuality in its myriad forms of expression?
What is the connection?
Well, there are many people out there who would say that there is none. They would argue that some higher being out there created humans to be pure of body and spirit, that we were not meant to sully ourselves with the stain of sexual congress for pleasure.
(Of course, this selfsame creator also made sex feel really exceedingly good [when done right], meaning that one of the following two statements is true: The creator/s is/are a/some sadistic f**k/s, or those people who believe that people aren’t meant to use their genitalia for recreational purposes are wrong. And, in a world where there are comic books, chocolate and the music of TOOL, sadistic creators seems the least likely of the two options.)
The truth is that I don’t KNOW what the connection between the spirit, subtle or soul self and the visceral sexual self is. What I do know, however, is that in a world where all things are at the deepest level connected, these things must also share a connection. Musing on what the specific nature of the connection could be sounds like fun.
At least it does to me.
Now, this is not to say that there won’t be other assorted musings here…I reiterate: there is no plan at work, and I have been told that I seem to have quite a lot to say about quite a lot. Some of it occasionally makes sense. What I am saying is that the writings herein are an off the cuff exploration into some things that seems worthy of exploration.
I invite you all to come along for the ride…

"All around me darkness gathers,
Fading is the sun that shone;
We must speak of other matters:
You can be me when I'm gone.
Flowers gathered in the morning,
Afternoon they blossom on;
Still are withered by the evening:
You can be me when I'm gone."
--Neil Gaiman
