Every day for one week, post the cover of a book you love and tag someone else to do the same.

Day #7 - Das Energi by Paul Williams

For those who don't know, I am also @dasenergi. I'm known as Das Energi everywhere: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. I am a queer Los Angeles based Performance Artist known as "Das Energi." I even own dasenergi.com

That is how important this book is to me. Reading it was eye-opening and life changing to my impressionable 21 year old mind. And this picture is of my 31 year old first copy of the book, held together with a rubberband.

Inside is the inscription from the person who gave it to me. It was a gift for my 21st birthday.

I have written about Christine before. She was my "Frau Eva" when I talked about Demian by Hermann Hesse. I was turning 21 and she was 30, married, and we were in the middle of a non-sexual love affair.

I could write a book about her and that time in our lives.

In the past several years, the idea of "Twin Flames" has become popular. We had an intense and deep spiritual and sexual connection that went beyond a conventional romantic relationship. (Remember, this was a non-sexual relationship, but also intensely sexual at the same time.)

She was married but she never cheated on her (abusive) husband with me. But I was there to support her leaving her abusive husband (taking her young daughter with her) and starting a new life.

And I felt the pain as she started sleeping with a variety of other men -- but not with me. We knew sex would ruin our relationship.

Anyhow... this book was a gift from her. And it changed my perspective of everything.

I have used this book as an oracle. Think of a question, then open the book to a random page, and there you will find your answer.

In my 20s it became something like a party game for me -- because people were so impressed by how it really did seem to answer their questions.

But the book is more than that. Much like "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah," it changed they way I thought. It changed the way I viewed the world. It reaffirmed my belief in magic.

I have always been surprised that more people don't know about the book. It's always been one of those underground books that people give as gifts to others. Maybe it's too "out-there" for most people. Maybe it's only meant for the weird ones. Those of us who live outside of the societal norm.

Anyhow...

I am tagging: Anyone else who would like to play, "Every day for one week, post the cover of a book you love and tag someone else to do the same."

this may not go over well but i want to say something before dav comes out because this GI article quote is really bothering me:

"As pansexual companions, they are attracted to people of any gender (or regardless of gender)."

bisexuality and pansexuality are functionally the same thing. both sexualities are defined by being attracted to people of any gender and/or regardless of gender. i don't care if you personally identify as pan, i’m not attacking the label itself here because that’s not the point. i’m just saying they mean the same thing and i'm asking all of you in advance (especially people who are not bisexual) to please be careful with the way you talk about bisexuality wrt pansexuality because it is unfortunately very common for pansexuality to be lauded as "more progressive" than bisexuality by people who don't know bi history.

bisexuality has been documented since at least the 70s to be trans/nb inclusive and to not be limited by gender or sexuality. pansexuality is not more progressive than bisexuality. they're the same. please do not bring back the "hearts not parts" mentality. okay? cool.

AHHHH I've been playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth on and off again and I FINALLY digivolved my starting digimon ( Palmon ) all the way up to Rosemon !!! I wanted to sketch them for that reason... it took way longer than expected...!! But for that reason it feels like a big achievement!

This is specifically supposed to be my Rosemon ( His name is Squire ) but I think I could design him to have more of his own cool unique details as an actual Digimon oc !! So this is Squire... for now !!!

I was emotionally prepared for the Trespasser epilogue of DA:I… but no one could’ve prepared me for Cassandra’s impressions of the others when reading aloud Varric’s book about the Inquisition
