¿Como se dice, ‘Heavy’?, or, La Divina de Luna Tantra
by Sub-commandante X

To the archived articlesSome stories are too damn personal to write down, let alone share. Well, this ain’t one of those.

To be straight with you, I’m too hip to be in love. (So, don’t give me no grief.) Bourgeois morality isn’t what’s happening. Physical/instinctive morality is where it’s at. Go with the flow. All aboard.

On this reservation we live together, anyway. Might as well start acting like it. Precious time is oozing from the clock. We’re just wasting what we can’t control.

We’re being pulled by some unknown force to the sea of infinite pleasure. Why fight it? Can’t you live up to your dreams?

“In another time or place, maybe…” she said.

But, it’s closer than that now. La Divina stepped off the train with a tantra manual in hand. She left it with me when she caught the northbound out of town.

Why is it women look so damn good as they’re heading out the door? La Rosa says, in her case, “it’s the clean blue jeans.” And, in her case, she’s right, y’know.

Hey, we’re tight. In fact, I’ve married people I haven’t been this close to. (And that goes for the whole bunch, all together.)



La Rosa is at the tip of the arrowhead flying straight to the target. I had no idea just who I was dealing with.

Still, it is a bit unusual that we haven’t (how you say?) ‘slept together’, yet. There aren’t many people who are really all that interesting. But Astrologer Luna Rosa is.

She came from Hollywood glamour, and she married into the professional sports elite. She’s working on a book now, but her real job is to consciously live, learn, and share.

She does them so well. Maybe it isn’t what I wanted, or expected. But, I’m not complaining. I’m very glad we met. There are no accidents.

It really don’t matter how you think you’d like things to work out. ‘Cause when all’s said and done, it’s what’s in the heart that matters.

The universe turns on that. And, as you can see, there’s no reason to dream forever no more. (So to speak.)


A Hopi Elder Speaks

“You have been telling the people that this is the eleventh Hour and you must go back and tell the people that this is The hour…
… The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word ‘struggle’ from your attitude and vocabulary… All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Oraibi, Arizona, Hopi Nation

How to share the truth physically? Like the good Doctor Deepak says,

“We’re spirits having a physical experience, and not the other way around.”

So drop the mask, then drop your pants. We gotta get higher evolved. (We will anyway.) Love is not a possession. Don’t play in quicksand.

Keep your head up and keep looking. There are other things going on here and, we ain’t gotta clue. ‘Dark matter’ for one.

But some of us are anxious to know. Just say “Know”, that’s know, with a ‘K’ and a ‘W’. Spirit, destiny’s handmaiden, tends to give what you deserve. Yeah, that’s ‘Heavy’.

Heavy like a 10 ton rock. Love without attachment or, desire. The tantra godess winks, “If you’re not free to change your mind, then you’re not free.”



Sub-X is a survivor of the radical '60s. These days he's attempting to get beyond the 'Them' and 'Us' duality of Conflict Consciousness. Trying to eliminate conflict from one's reality is a lot like dealing with alcohol. It's an on-going process. Currently, Sub-X seeks solutions and asks, "Why not more beauty, love, and joy?" We know we can do so much better. OK, so why not?
