I definitely want to make it very clear to everybody that the educational institution that we have, the school that Will and I have, is not a Scientology school.

Inanna, goddess of sexual allure and desire, was the supernova of Near Eastern deities. She cut a formidable figure. Despite the goddess’s role reduction to the sphere of sexuality, Inanna retained the cosmic authority of the prehistoric deities. Like them, she was the “Totality of What Is,” the “Lady of Blazing Dominion,” who contained multitudes and contradictions, and presided over life, death, and regeneration. Her numerous names reflect her myriad aspects: Queen of Heaven, Great Mother Cow, Princely Inanna, Lady of Vegetation, First Snake, First Daughter of the Moon, Lady of Raging Battle, and Bearer of Happiness. But her defining quality was her prodigal, hot-bodied female sexuality. She incarnated raw erotic desire, beyond societal laws and human control.

A constructive work is an embodiment of freedom itself, and is unconsciously perceived, even by those who are consciously against it. The desire to live is the strongest universal emotion, it springs from the depths of our unconscious sensibility – and the desire to give life is our most potent, constructive, conscious expression of this intuition.
Barbara Hepworth
-
Deprived of the opportunity to judge one another by the cars we drive, New Yorkers, thrown together daily on mass transit, form silent opinions based on our choices of subway reading. Just by glimpsing the cover staring back at us, we can reach the pinnacle of carnal desire or the depths of hatred. Soul mate or mortal enemy.

Some media outlets refer to 'protesters' and 'militia members,' not 'terrorists,' even though armed antigovernment extremists seizing federal property and expressing a desire to kill and die is a textbook description of domestic terrorism.

What I wonder most about the Anthropocene is not when did it start - but when, and how, will it end? Will it end? Or is it possible that our own growing awareness of our role on Earth can itself play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome toward one that we would desire?
