  • Human Sexuality "The sexuality of human beings comprises a broad range of behavior and processes, including the physiological, psychological, social, cultural, political, and spiritual or religious aspects of sex and human sexual behavior. Philosophy, particularly ethics and the study of morality, as well as theology, also address the subject."
  • Polyamory Multiple loving, responsible, honest long-term relationships. Non-monogamy.
  • NCSF - NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.

[edit] Politically

I am a moderate, and discouraged by both ends of the political spectrum.

Like most Americans, I think George Bush is an Idiot, and hold great shame that the world judges me, and other Americans by his actions.

[edit] Religious

I have developed my own personal life philosophy over the years, and came to the understanding that this philosophy is essentially a variation of Buddhist thought. Particularly Zen Buddhism, and is also Existentialist in nature.

Dharma Wheel (flowers not traditional) Drawn by PSchemp

Key elements of my personal philosophy are:

  • Respect for others, and their right to their own religious beliefs. We all seek enlightenment, and all paths are equally valid in the pursuit of that enlightenment.
  • Live a life of humility, service.
  • Show Kindness and Compassion for all living things.
  • Reserve time for individual meditation, or contemplative thought.
  • Always being honest and true. All things are interconnected, and lying to anyone is just a round about way of trying to fool ones-self, and results in slowing your own path to enlightenment, and may deflect others as well from theirs.
  • Never taking anything that is not yours, or not given freely.

[edit] Favorite Quotes

Picture of the day
Saffron

A pile of saffron threads (each about 20 mm in length) from Iran. Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of the saffron crocus and is among the world's costliest spices by weight. In Western countries, the average retail price is $2200/€1550/£1100 per kilogram ($1,000/€700/£500 per pound). Besides its use as a seasoning, it has also used in its history as fragrance, dye, and medicine.
