It’s time to take a look at blood.

 You are reading this partly because your blood is rushing around inside you making trillions of life creating exchanges that your mere mind cannot begin to comprehend.

Makes you wonder why we listen to our mind at all!

Our ancestors puzzled over blood. If someone got cut and too much of this substance leaked out the person would die. When blood stopped coming to a woman for several moons a baby would grow in her.

It’s blood that makes life! Blood staying in a woman is what makes a human! Blood is the juice that creates life!

Now this was a reasonable thing to surmise when sex was a function like eating and crapping, just part of the rhythm of life.

Male circumcision began as a rite to give the pubescent male the power of blood in his nether regions. This mimicked the blood that came to a young woman when her body began to menstruate, the male emulating this ‘magical’ and life creating body change in order to gain power over life.

This view of menstrual blood led to the hope that sacrificing an animal, it’s blood dedicated to some spirit/god/power, would grant wishes. (no judgement)

The bible reads like an endless hack and whack of some lovely farm animals and often people as well. eg: to get rid of leprosy: sacrifice a ram and two sheep, have their entrails read by the priest and their blood wiped on your right side. Rivers of blood flowed in the temples and on alters worldwide.

People, get a grip, it’s just a menstrual cycle!

The next evolutionary Aha! was when someone realized that it wasn’t blood but semen that created life. I wish I could say this was an improvement but alas, no.  Now that men could claim ownership of a child, they wanted to make sure that the child was theirs and began controlling female sexual freedom.

Nothing tampers a woman’s sex drive more than seeing her besties’ head get chopped off for having a child while their husband was at war.

Give menstruation a break!

Menstruation is the sign of a healthy body. ‘PMS’ is a sign that you need to improve some aspect of your health – unless you think you were designed to go crabbing around, getting all weepy and irrational. This myth gets used to deny women responsible jobs and dismiss viable and needed discussions.

Don’t take pills to stop your flow! The world could learn from the rhythm of the cycle of creation you carry – it’s exhausted from trying to be run like a machine!

This in no way means you should be waving your tampons in peoples faces! Absolument pas! Menstruation is not a sport!

Ride that rhythm ladies! It’s what life requires!

Eat more veggies! Get sound sleep! Hydrate! Listen to your body!

It’s trying to love you!

…past, present and future.

We would like during this season of remembrance for all to place a hand over your heart for the hardships, confusion, shame, cruelty and sometimes torture and death that LGBT people have faced during their struggle to be accepted and free.

The Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, once stated, “The government does not belong in the bedrooms of the people”.

If you disagree with this very reasonable statement then perhaps you are suffering from ‘Genital Concern’.  Do you find yourself concerned about other peoples genitals? What they look like? What they might be doing? Wondering what they might do next?

Someone else’s genitals is non of your concern and you know it.

We have the LGBT people to thank for inspiring us to rethink our conscious,  unconscious and ancestral ideas about what our business is in regard to sex, freedom and love.

And perhaps most importantly for driving the evolution of consciousness into a place where we train ourselves to look at the humanity of each person. To look past gender and fashion and colour and class right into the beating heart of each person. To meet one another on an even playing field of shared humanity.

Thank you.

And though your struggle continues we at the PinkyLuxSchool offer our gratitude and a shoulder to lean on.

We all come out of the body of a woman, we all carry nature’s hope.

Are women even inside women anymore?

Something a little Macabre for the season!

When you go for a stroll through a park it is common to come upon a statue.

A statue of a man is likely to be dressed in period clothes, have a name and date attached, along with some idea of the deeds he has contributed to society.

A statue of a woman is likely to be an idealized generic beauty that comes not with a name but with a quality like Justice, Mercy or Liberty.

Screen Shot 2013-10-28 at 12.27.20 PMThis is something you can check out for yourself.

Next, go to an art museum and look at the pictures of women that have been revered by society for centuries. You will find marvelous depictions of women from the perspective of the brilliant male artist.

And the histories of the world have very little to say about women and children. I guess they were busy doing other things. Too busy to write about themselves it’s certain!

Reading much of the great literature requires a transposing of he for she if a lady is to take the journey of the protagonist. It’s exhausting!

In our modern culture women are still predominately drawn from male ‘ideas’ of women – don’t make me use statistics!

We have been taking in ‘ideas’ of what a woman is for so many centuries while living in political/cultural/religious institutions built from a male perspective how is it even possible that real women are still inside women!

I know you are in there!

Let’s get inventing! Emergency Style!
