What I'm interested in is the exploration of the body and desire as a self-actualising or fulfilling component on the individual's life journey instead of as a part of the social, political, or economic structure of a "society" or "civilization."

You can spend a life learning how to do it properly. ~ Kazim Ali

I used to think truth was eternal, that once I knew, once I saw, it would be with me forever, a constant by which everything else could be measured.
