The Two Ends Of My Life

My life has always been odd if you looked at it from a certain angle. The current configuration may very well be the best example of said strangeness. As of this coming week, I will officially be on my way to becoming a meditation teacher. This has been a goal of mine for some time and the time has come to do it!

So by day I am a senior project manager working in adult entertainment and a by night a soon to be meditation teacher. Technically I am already a Reverend - I wonder how many Reverends work in adult entertainment - the Reverend title has always left me a little uncomfortable and at some point I will likely scrap it altogether but for now it's yet another identity that I possess.

I've debated how 'out' I want to be regarding my working in adult; I feel really strongly that we in the US need to get over our prudishness about sex in general. Bringing sex out of our closet and onto the table for discussion is probably the healthiest thing we could do for ourselves. It's everywhere already and yet we still seem to shy away from it.

As for spirituality - well sex can be a very spiritual thing - it seems natural to me as a spiritual practitioner to also be involved in the business of sexual expression.

On one level these two ends of my life are really one in the same.
