Man,
I just found your journal and I had to read all the posts in a row. I like how you express yourself and how you are being honest about who you are and where you come from (and where you are "going"). I did a lot of spiritual work in some phases of my life too asking myself questions that many times I was uncomfortable to answer/get answered to...finding over the years that, as Nietzsche puts it, "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.", to the point where I became obsessed about spirituality while pushing the nature of myself away that was trying to express the basic human needs, becoming a "spiritual monster" that was not capable to show much respect nor sympathy towards the human nature. Sex and sexuality being one of those fundamental human aspects. Before I started to ask those questions for myself I was very shallow and materialistic. Then I went too far towards the other end of the spectrum for years...(just thought to share since, being artist myself, I can feel the connection...)
...without any further ranting, there are many techniques and methodologies to bring the balance in ones life and enhance it, and like you said one should not become a slave to any technology. I feel Shannon´s subs are one of the best methodoligies /technology out there, but it can vary depending on individual of course...I hope you find what is best for you, and I hope that you do get a lot out of these subs...and please keep writing your journal, I really enjoy reading it as it is refreshingly different than most other AM journals.
Know thyself, and be yourself...go create great art, and make your own life the greatest masterpiece of them all
