– DRL – deepening reflexive living/learning/loving ~ Sublimewe
Fluffy ~ mic ~ verbal exchange ~ relational ~ me
Bell-stick ~ remote control ~ sonic/silent, vibration/energy ~ ambiance ~ us
Trophy ~ brake & gear ~ non-verbal internal ~ body ~ we/vertical
5.1 (5 parts + 1 accessory) surround sound!
Trophy invitation & vicarious healing
Hand gestures – 1. Thumb to heart – asking for reflection of the fluffy from someone else – why not just use interjection or trophy for this?! 2. Reply gesture – pointing to the fluffy – the voice asking for a relevant & satisfying reply – why not just ask & then the others point?
Can we introduce touch into the mix (especially as response to/support for trophy)?! Most are deprived &/or suspicious – needing & resistant – messy grey area. Sexual circles and sexual abuse.
Inner & outer balance/dance
2 mirrors facing >> infinite reflection!
Holding the whole. Capacity for curiosity
Why eKo – echo?? Distinguish repetition, response & reflection
Where 2 or 3 are gathered in this way, they could gain access to the source of their life & growth. You & I matter equally
Mutual co-hearting – core-couple for forming the us – enough trust, to ask for support from the triggering person! Confidence in the process/design/instrument
Emboldened to find one’s home group ~ my Us
Gradation in the non-verbal to verbal. As many trophies as there are players!
Integration of feeling, saying & doing
Role-modeling – can you please do as I do, back to me, so that you & me can thrive…? “Things are easier said than done!”
Family/systems therapy
System conditions, to read (bring out the pathos) between the lines (of the verbal), and to articulate the deep-scape (communicate/share in language)
Unasked offerings by the us-person
Avoiding blind-spots that lead to dead-ends
How easily can you say no to this person?
Distinguish: Interjection & Reply – different gestures
Distinguish deepening the current thread and starting a new thread
Stop sign – hand gesture – only the fluffy has the right?
When you are itching for the fluffy, then maybe you need a trophy. And if you cannot reflect, then you need a trophy.

The prude-in-denial
From Queer Studies to the New Pornography
“…put one’s body & soul at risk, to make that polemical condition of life itself accessible, hearable, readable, graspable, right here, right now.”
Riffing off
“The work of the New Porn is at once immemorially archaic, always yet to come, and yet nothing other than the impossibility (for knowledge) of: here, now, this.”
From heteronormativity to homonormativity to antinormativity as primary political gesture
