[7] a World w/o Taxes (Abundance Erotica)
I am so delighted to share today's very special episode with you. Today is the very first of a new series that I'm calling Abundance Erotica.
hehehe
It's not sexual in nature, but it will have you dripping in desire for what is possible.
Because a reality outside of capitalist imperialism is very possible. And the more that you can tune in to what that could look like, what that could feel like in your body, the more you are — on an energetic level — making that possibility a reality, you make it that much more likely to come to fruition. So this is some abundance witchcraft. It is an experience that I will be guiding you through if you let me.
haha You can always not do that if you don't want to.
So today's episode is called A World Without Taxes.
Coming to a future near you.
And this is brought to you by Abundant Futures Podcast. Inspiring hope for realities outside of capitalist imperialism.
So let's begin by exploring What is abundance erotica?
Imperialism confuses the erotic for sex.
But not all sex is erotic.
Audre Lorde, in the Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” writes “pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling.”
And this is certainly within a patriarchal, imperialist context.
And the erotic reaches far beyond sex.
I experience the erotic as the energy of life moving through my human vessel.
There’s something erotic about slurping on a slice of papaya and moaning with unapologetic pleasure as you savor the sweet, sticky juice dripping from your lips.
There’s something erotic about creation. Creating art, poetry, music. You are not creating, life is creating through you as you become a witness to the energy blossoming through your channel.
Imperialism teaches us it’s not safe to be honest with our yourself, your emotional experience. It’s not safe to express your laughter, your joy, your pleasure uninhibited. To survive within imperialism your body learns to resist our honest reactions to the stimulus of life. Imperialism traps the body in a constant survival response – tensing up and suppressing the flow of emotion – the flow of life. Because freedom is not safe.
The erotic is relaxing into the human experience. Surrendering to the flow of the life-force energy that moves through you.
The erotic is being unapologetic about your human experience, your emotions, your pleasure, your joy.
The erotic is LIBERATION.
What if you could create a safe container for your body to unlearn the survival response of self suppression?
And what if in doing so you were contributing to collective liberation?
When you break free from the emotional chains that sever you from your sacred erotic vessel, your energy-body is radiating liberation out into the collective energetic soup.
What if liberation from oppression didn’t require suffering, but could be as pleasurable as indulging in your inner dream world and tuning into the erotic energy that lives inside of you?
What you imagine creates your reality.
If you’re inundated in doom and gloom, your energetic field will perpetuate the vibration of doom and gloom into the collective energy-body.
By choosing when, where and how you tune into energy, you are shaping your emotional experience and the body sensations that accompany it.
You are the medicine the collective needs.
Your vessel is a channel. How will you choose to wield it?
When you can’t see past the doom & gloom, you get trapped in the oppressor’s future vision for the world.
Internalized oppression.
What if by indulging in abundance erotica you were dissenting from the oppressor’s fantasy and shaping the future with your dreams?
When’s the last time you dreamed your own dreams?
If it feels challenging to imagine a future outside of capitalist imperialism, the oppressor’s consciousness is living in your mind like a parasite.
If you notice guilt or shame preventing you from choosing pleasurable sensations amidst so much suffering in the world, this is not your energy, but the oppressor’s energy leeching into your space.
Joy is your birthright. Any blocks to joy and pleasure is the energetic residue of imperialism circulating through your energy-body.
As you notice the blockages, simply release them. Moan, jump, shake, cry, sing, scream, BREATHE – whatever you need to do to liberate yourself from the imprint of imperialism living inside of you.
Growing pains are inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Dare you give yourself permission to transform yourself and the world through joy and pleasure?
Dare you dream your own dreams?
With your consent, I will be your gentle dom.
Like erotica, kink can be sexual, but often it’s not.
Kink is consensual role play.
When imperialism is playing the role of dom (dominating your heart, body and mind) without your consent, it is oppression.
With your consent, I will play the loving role of guiding your heart and your mind through a magic carpet ride abundance erotica.
It’s not dreamwork – it’s dream play.
I invite you to play with me, for the sake of your heart and the collective’s.
If you want to enhance this experience, I recommend grounding your energy and meditating before opening the door to this portal of pleasure.
A World Without Taxes
Coming to a future near you
If you haven’t already grounded into your body, go ahead and do so now.
Let’s take 3 deep breaths, breathing in through the nose, and out through the mouth.
Doubling the length of the exhale…
Ahhhh…
Now, imagine a dot in the center of your head, directly behind your eyes and in between your ears.
As you focus your attention on the dot in the center of your head, imagine yourself leaping inside of this dot and finding yourself surrounded by a vast open sky. You see yourself floating in a cloud, feeling light and fluffy, like your body is becoming air itself. Notice how it feels to be here now.
Savor the sensation.
And let’s go for a ride.
Now, as you look down at the world below you, from a distance it might look like the world you know today. But as you zoom in, you realize in this world taxes don’t exist.
They simply aren’t necessary.
There’s no need to track expenses, to hire an accountant, to report to the government.
There’s no stress, no worries.
Money is simply energy. Currency - a current of energy flowing between you and the community as you uplift each other and thrive together.
In this world, you’re exchanging energy freely between yourself and the community with no paperwork, no receipts.
Just living in the present moment, flowing freely.
Imagine a world where people’s hearts are SO open that they give willingly and consensually.
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Imagine a world where people are not enslaved to the clock. To a master.
You, your beloveds, and the people around you don’t have to work for survival.
You take care of your needs through play.
With enjoyment.
With levity.
There are no structures trapping you in.
No 9-5. No weekdays, no weekends.
No work/life balance.
There is no work to balance.
Just play.
Just taking care of your needs and the community with joy and ease.
There’s no surviving.
Just living in the here, now.
You get to choose how you take care of your needs.
You get to choose what time you wake up and go to sleep.
You get to choose the flow of your day.
The flow of your energy.
You get to choose who you interact with and how.
You design your life to your heart’s desire.
The farmers choose to farm from a place of irresistible passion.
Feeling nurtured by expressing their soul’s highest desire by being in relationship with the land. By tending the land.
By feeding the hearts and bodies of the community they nourish together in collaboration with Earth.
Where they aren’t tired or over-worked because there is an abundance of passionate collaborators.
Where they sing with joy as they tend the land, infusing the Earth’s gifts with their love, that then enters your mouth and alchemizes into your body.
Where productivity happens at the intersection of heart, rest and play.
Like ants working together in harmony without a director.
Where collaboration is divinely orchestrated and radiates love.
Oh, you need a house to live in?
It just so happens that it brings someone joy to express their creativity through building, through designing.
It just so happens that there’s an abundance of hands and hearts who feel spiritually fulfilled in bringing this project to life.
By gifting you a cozy home to rest your heart and head.
Where nothing is owed after the creation is completed.
No looming debt.
Extortion from landlords demanding royalties.
No threat of taking away your housing, your safety.
No forced labor to keep a roof over your head.
The gift is received in gratitude, love and care.
What if your interactions were shaped by desire and not obligation?
What would a day in the life feel like in your body?
Rather than dragging your body out the door, into the car, into a 8 hour workday, might you wake up with light in your eyes?
With a smile on your face?
With joyful anticipation of the day that awaits you?
Of the beloveds you will see?
Of the connection you will feel?
Of the creations you will shape?
Might you feel a bubbly joy radiating from your chest?
Might you feel your heart softening, allowing the energy of life to flow through your vessel freely?
Might you be so present in the here, now that you’re saturated in the satisfaction of being alive?
Might you cherish this human body, this human experience, this Earth who nourishes you, who provides your playground?
What if there was no need for taxes because the community organizes itself – no captain required?
What if life was so easeful and flowy, where people weren’t exhausted from forced labor that they felt an authentic desire to contribute to the community?
What if collective resources emerged organically from the passion of people’s hearts?
What if collaborations didn’t need planning or managing, but just coalesced gracefully?
And what if in co-creating community resources for the people by the people, our hearts were nourished in the giving of our gifts?
What if there was no need for force?
What if there was so much love radiating through the ether, that there was no need for rules?
What if everyone was so well taken care of physically, emotionally and spiritually that there was no desire for violence?
No accumulation of trauma.
What if your heart were sooooo open that you could feel the pain of another?
What if you felt repulsed by the idea of inflicting pain on another?
And others wouldn’t even imagine doing harm to you?
What if revenge was retired?
What if there was nothing to fear?
What if we could live in the present?
Be here now.
Without counting down the hours until the school day is over? The work day is over?
Without counting down the years until retirement so we can finally start living our lives?
What if life is happening right here right now?
What if you were designed to be a being of joy and love? Living in the present moment?
Creating, sharing, laughing, playing?
THRIVING.
If life could be a playground, would you choose it?
If you lived in this world – a world without taxes – how would you spend your day?
Who would you spend it with?
If your basic needs were guaranteed, what would you create with the life-force energy flowing through you?
What qualities would be present in your day-to-day experience?
Who might you become with so much sovereignty?
Who would you like to shape yourself into?
Who do you want to be shaped by? And how?
See where your imagination takes you.
Let it be your compass, guiding you into the future.
As you notice emotion flowing through your vessel, let it flow.
Whether it's grief or joy or despair or hope. This is the process of detoxing from the oppressors energy living in your mind, your heart and your body. This is the process of reclaiming your sovereignty. May it be so.
I will give you space to feel your feelings and imagine your desires before we close out.
…
Playtime is over, dear one. I hope you got what you needed out of that experience. And thanks for playing with me. It takes courage to dream. It takes courage to feel your feelings. Let's take a moment to celebrate it — the courage living inside of you in this moment.
And just like any workout, you're going to wanna cool down after this. This is an exercise that moves a lot of energy through your vessel. This is the nature of the erotic. How can you take care of yourself right now? Maybe reducing stimulus, taking a nap, a bath, snuggling, a dear being whether it's a human animal or a non-human animal or earth herself.
Please do take a moment to wind down and transition out of this exercise. Hope to see you for the next one. Peace be with you.
