"Blending" challenging the complexities of gender and sexuality


Blending
As he stood watching the sunset the sky turned
                       purple               then                  green                 then red.
                                     When it turned blue
he felt him approaching and his spirit aroused.
He appeared behind him and wrapped his energy about his waist. “My
love, at this crossing we shall blend.” They search each other for the
light and began to manifest physically. Tongues licked nipples, hands
rubbed bodies, lips felt moisture and tekkens entered door ways.
The two transformed:
man/man, woman/woman, woman/man, man/woman one
“We experience each other thru sound,”
                          led
                               to
                                   screams and moans
of wholeness.
As they came together their juices caused the skies to
                                                                      R
                                                                               A
                                                                                             I
                                                                                                    N

I chose this to go first in "Confessions of a faithful woman" to challenge the complexities of gender and sexuality in a very unambiguous and amusing manner.  In this post as it relates to “Blending”, I wanted to speak about “homosexuality,” but first let me say this:
YOU CAN NOT BE “CONSCIOUS” OR “AFRIKAN” OR “AFRIKAN CONSCIOUS” AND BE AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY!!!!!!!!!!
This is not debatable. 
*****Note for this post***** I think in numbers, rhythms and equations, so you will have to do the math yourself *laughing hysterically internally*
Homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality and exists in more than just human beings.  It has only been since religion was created and manipulated to control humanity that same-sex relationships have become a topic of discontent. You must understand the poli-tricks behind the “anti-homo” (gender-suppression) movement.
First, let’s start with the basics. In order to even consider the notion of “homo- vs. hetero-” as separate expressions of sexuality (which they are not), you have to buy into the domineering status quo notion of the sexes and accept the fallacy that there are only two (2) genders.
For centuries, ALL advanced cultures have recognized that there exist more than just man and woman, male and female.  Hermaphroditism is one of the most commonly accepted and acknowledged forms of “advanced gender” (as I like to call it). These are beings with both sets of reproductive organs; this IS NOT a genetic mutation but a natural condition.
But let’s get further into these complexities so we can forever be done with these nomenclatures.  We are physical and spiritual and masculine and feminine; without this specific combination, we are not human. What determines our unique gender expression is the degrees to which we are complementarily masculine or feminine. We could be:
*A woman with a dominance of masculine energy
*A woman with a dominance of feminine energy
*A woman with equal masculine and feminine energy
*A man with a dominance of masculine energy
*A man with a dominance of feminine energy
*A man with equal masculine and feminine energy
*A Blend (hermaphrodite, twin soul, gate keeper) with a dominance of masculine energy
*A Blend (hermaphrodite, twin soul, gate keeper) with a dominance of feminine energy
*A Blend (hermaphrodite, twin soul, gate keeper) with equal masculine and feminine energy
ETCETC  ETC

This doesn’t even begin to touch on how each of those physical and spiritual balance variances. For example, you can be a woman with 50.00000001% to 99.99999% feminine energy and 49.999999999% to .0000000001% masculine energy. But, if we limit gender to just “man” and “woman” we have disempowered, de-legitimized and discredited every other gender, AND simultaneously limited the expression of man and woman. With this in mind, we are ALL “straight,” “gay,” “bi-” and so forth.
Our spirit animates our bodies, so limiting our “sexual preference” to simply physical attributes denies the divinity of it.
Secondly, let us go deeper and look at the de-evolution of man and woman as sentient, sexual, fully- initiated beings.  There has been a multi-century campaign to suppress human evolution by dumbing down rites of passage or initiations. Only an Afrikan man can initiate an Afrikan boy into Afrikan manhood and only an Afrikan woman can initiate an Afrikan girl into Afrikan womanhood; this goes for Afrikan blends and sacred sexuality rites.
In many ancient customs (which I always refer to because they existed, flourished and evolved before mass oppression spread across the globe), the elders taught the youth about sex and used the sacred sex rituals (men with men, women with women, blends with blends and other varied combinations) based upon the needs of the person, people, society and universe.  In order to have been considered an adult in those societies, you had to go through and successfully complete the rites of that society. Without the understandings achieved in these initiations, we very rarely reach our full capacity.
Thirdly, sex and sexuality have been pressed into merely corporal acts, and as such, disconnect us from our higher capabilities, abilities and capacities. Sex is the quickest, easiest and most fulfilling way to “tap into” The Creator.  As we reach orgasm, we achieve a higher and broader state of consciousness (that’s part of the reason so many people enjoy cumming). With the proper knowledge and application, we can transfer that energy into anything we desire and can use it for creation, procreation, healing, expansion and enlightenment just for starters.
Fourth, the love that naturally permeates in any civilized society has been restrained and systematically extracted.  The “survival of the fittest” mentality that this society promotes pits people against each other instead of encouraging collectivity, mutual respect and genuine concern for ALL people.  We have to wrap our minds around the notion of loving all people because of our differences, not in spite of our differences. Our differences are an important part of who we are, and appreciating those differences is an true expression of love and understanding of the Creator. The Creator is vast and infinite, and has chosen to manifest itself in all those beautiful variations of people (and things) we see.  If we understand this basic principle, we can better understand, accept and enjoy ourselves and each other (no matter how different, odd, extraordinary or uncommon anyone else may seem) as intended.
Fifth- Man, NOT God (The Creator, Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah…) made sexuality gender-specific, ß that speaks for itself. However, I will say that we can be attracted to and aroused by all genders if we are tuned in enough to feel them; how we choose to act on it is up to us. But denial of this fact is subhuman. 
I could go on and on and on and on and on…. But let me nutshell it for you.

Sexuality is a divine physical expression of the great attraction, love and desire to be whole, complete and satiated that exists in the universe.  This great force is both genderless and encompassing of ALL genders.  We as humans are unique expressions of this force and are attracted to each other according to our vibes. Both homo and hetero sexuality are misnomers when understanding humanity in its entirety. IF you understand how the Creator works you will know that when one aspect of it is suppressed beyond repair it recreates it in multiplicity which is why there is a “rise of homosexuality”.  Being conscious means you are aware and accepting of the inner workers of the universe including everyone and everything’s role in it. Oppression based on gender or sexual expression among humans aint Afrikan. (Notice the PERIOD)
 
This may seem a little far fetched, but I challenge you to do more research and to expand your mind just a bit to accept one or more of these possibilities.  Check out: The Spirit of Intimacy; Facing Mt. Kenya; Egyptian Yoga; Three Magik words; or anything along this line and Re-re-re- read “Blending” with a new understanding.

The brothers of "Twins" from Confessions of a faithful woman.

Twins
He looked around frightened, briefly unaware of his surroundings. He then looked up at the statuesque pair of beautiful creatures and began to remember. He closed his eyes and his mind began to replay the events. As his body relived every sensuous moment, it contorted violently with the rushing waves of vibrations. He licked his lips and could still taste the tang of their juices. He could feel the contractions in his groin as he remembered how they took turns experiencing the flicking of his tongue and the hardness of his manhood simultaneously. . He felt the lightening in his body a mix of intoxicating and painful pleasure, their nails tore through his skin over and over again….his wrist, his legs, his chest….his….
He opened his eyes, which summoned them to take him again. He would discover the sweet pleasure of pain.

Twwins(There was a misprint in the “table of contents”
The beast was growing tired of the banter. He swooped her up and flung her hard over his shoulder. She let out a grumble as her ribs hit against his muscles. He was strong. He could tell she was not the same. She moaned as he moved through the trees. Something inside beckoned him to comfort her. He stopped near the tallest tree and laid her down. “I cannot take you home like this, allow me to heal you.” His deep powerful voice sent vibrations through her body. She had no strength to argue so she agreed. Like she had once gathered materials for her sister, he now gathered them for her. He drained, mixed and nursed her back. His tail was larger than any other. “Why do you help?” She asked “For your sister, her love, her heart.” These words gave her comfort; and at the same time they broke her heart.

Twwwins
“Brother what have they done to you, no matter, we can fix it.” The halfling barely recognized his twin; “they have
tortured me, drained me, killed me and given me new life. I am no longer you.” He stood to reveal his new self. Part man part not. He was covered in fur, had canine teeth, claws instead of nails and blood red eyes. He thought his brother would be repulsed by his outer shell instead his brother showed compassion. “Since you cannot go back I will stay here with you. I will return home and say my goodbyes so no one will come looking for us.” The creature protested. “I have nothing back home brother; they have taken everything from me.”
You still have a wife to care for. She needs you, I do not.” Said the creature. The words did not even feel right coming from his lips.
“I have made my decision.” With that the brother left trekking down the rock face trying to find his way home.  The sisters appeared. The youngest furious with the thought of sharing her sister again began to give chase. Her sister called to her “what if it were we love, above and beyond if he has companion we can spend more time like we were.” The younger left. She followed him closely giving him clues and silently helping him until he was in a familiar place. She then waited one week feeding upon small animals until his return. She stopped him is his path. “Why do you not just receive him home amid you? You all are not complete to endure with us. We will assist you with returning him home.” “They will never accept him.” He injected.
“We will never accept you.” She hissed
“Yes, but you are not vile like those where I come from; humans can be very destructive and raw. They will kill him for sure.” He pleaded.
“We will kill you also.” Ba assured him “I would rather die with you than live without him.”

As I mentioned in the first post about “Twins” which explored Sa and Ba more:

“This is one of the few stories which will be in each book of the series because there is so much to share about each of the characters…“Twins” is what happens after the younger brother was subdued by her (them).   When I began writing this story it was from the perspective of the man whom they had captured (There is an entire back story as to how he ended up in their cave which will be in the next book); it was his experience first discovering her which turned out to be them. As I wrote from his perspective I began to understand “The twins” more. I had to immerse myself in their perspective in order to explain what it was like for him.”

As I wrote this story I let it take me where it wanted to go.  As Sa and Ba began to separate there was a need to expand on how much of a “rare type” this brother actually was. In addressing the Male twins I sought out questions from readers and this post will respond to those questions

What are the brother’s names?
Their names have not yet been revealed because they are becoming.  What I mean is that they are in transition from who they were in human form to who they are becoming in their new form.  As they transition their former names don’t fully fit them and they have not claimed their new names.  By Afrikan perspective (and yes I will always go back to this) you name describes who you are, your work in life and attributes about you.  Those things are in flux for the brothers at the time of these stories.

Why did you make them twins?
In many societies twins are worshipped and honored.  Since twins are considered to be 1 soul that is too big for just 1 body; they are often considered a blessing and a sign of good fortune.  In addition twins are psychically connected, often have their own language and operate with a connection and unity that many can not understand.  With all that in mind for this story embodying the depth and strength of character as well as their differentiations it was natural that they be twins or soul sharers (as I like to call them).  Their twinning also represents the phases of their evolution.

Do you feel that it was important to show that the male twins had the same emotional connection as the sisters?
No, not necessarily. For all of them the connection was within their spirit not their emotions.  Their spiritual connections caused emotional reactions but it was a celestial connection that welded them together.  The brothers bond was slightly different because the brothers started out as human and spent some time apart while one had been transformed and the other remained human.  The brothers had an existence, before they came across the sisters, which was terrestrial as well as celestial. The “older” brother coming to look for his twin had more to do with his draw to the younger sister than for his brother which is why he does not appear until the 3rd story.
 
Do you feel that the twins show the struggle that most people have with personal views and societal judgment?
In later stories they will. In this set of stories they don’t. As of now they lived in a time that did not have all the limited views of today.  The more ancient spiritual, cultural and sexual practices were still very prevalent.
 
At different points it seems as if there is something more between the younger sister and the first brother although they are at odds, is that the case?
If you remember it was the younger that initially shopped her sister from killing him and nursed him back to health.  He is the catalyst for her change as well as the foreshadowing of her relationship with his brother. Because Sa and Ba are 1 the younger loves him as much as her counterpart and he is connected to her because of his connection to her counterpart.  As you will see in his writings to his brother he describes her with such beauty, love and grace.  He in enamored by her.

Will their life be explored in more detail latter?
Yes.  In the next book the back story of the brothers will be told as well as the story of the 4 of them meeting in modern times.  The brothers were human and lived as such for many years before coming across Sa and Ba.
