Many of you know how sex can be a vessel for the transcendental. Heiros Gamos, the divine masculine and feminine, kundalini as a union of the divine within the self. Finding artists who have an awareness of the sacredness of the feminine and the masculine without falling for the mundane is pretty rare. You’d think it would be easier done given how much energy we put into the act of begetting.
For some time now I have been availing myself and those I know who appreciate a deeper awareness of our sexuality than just a moment of pure pleasure, and that is the artist whose name is elusive but whose presence on the internet is not. Found, for now, on Instagram under @alphachanneling. I say this because if you haven’t noticed, social media has been enjoying its heavy hand in the censorship arena these days on just about anything that anyone might frown upon, be it an errant crumb on the tablecloth, an unapproved of political opinion, or scientific information inconvenient to whatever the current narrative is. Or sex. Even when your channel is defined as for adults only. Even then.
When I first saw the work I saw a range of works using different styles but clearly rooted in the sacred. There is, to my eye often a whisper of Art Deco stylization in some of the work. Many are fast, gestural, and I think it is what keeps the work from being less than what it is. That’s not to say that if it were more that it would be less either….(I have a right to be inconsistent if I wish).
I suppose that I should do a little digging to find out a little more about the artist sans actually interviewing him. So I found another who did, but not before contacting him to get permission to publish a few images of his work for you to see.
“Alphachanneling is a Swiss-born American artist based out of Oakland, California….Central to my process is … channeling, an ongoing cultivation through a deep relationship I have with several master-teachers….Spiritual in practice, the images I produce are simple thought-waves … I look towards Taoism and tantra, pornography and folk art, BDSM and the divine, the mystical and the occult, indigenous and outsider art alike … Alphachanneling lives in a boundless world called the Utopian Erotic, a world of magical pussy, radiant women, bedroom jungles and temples of light.”
Is There Great Art On Instagram? Jerry Saltz, Vulture. https://www.vulture.com/2014/12/saltz-great-instagram-art.html
Since I find reviews of artwork usually tedious and more about the writer than the artist, let me get down to the work so you can see for yourself. Hang on for the ending because I will include a link you might want to save…
This one was either the same one or one very much like it that I saw first when I came across his work a number of years ago. When I saw this image I stopped my scrolling and thought, “Hang on…someone has gotten onto the whole concept of energetic transfer.” Then sure enough, with a title like “energetic transfer” a little bell went off. Its nice to be on the same wavelength, it makes everything so easy.
Sadly, though, there is an image that this artist has been seeing too much of right along with his viewers, too, and one wonders whether the prudes at Facebook/Instagram will play the bully and selectively edit this chap’s feed:
I don’t know what the problem is quite honestly: there are images that some might want to call “scandalous” that stay up while, selectively, some are banned with this rather jolting image that belongs on the roadways and not on the Instagram feeds. It looks more like Sally Prude works on Tuesday the censor shift and she finds something she just can’t stand so she slaps on the above sticker, only to be followed by Ted, who we all know is a malcontented prude, who works on Thursdays the censor desk and goes to work hacking away at the artist’s lovely feed of spiritual erotica. It’s almost like there aren’t enough of them, taking down what they don’t like, but kind of hacking their way through the lovely jungle. Meanwhile, images of graphic violence and gratuitous sex remain on other channels. It’s enough to make a person want to start carrying around a pitchfork or something. We are lucky that this platform hasn’t gone demented and taken to censorship, at least not as I can yet tell.
So I will leave you with this one last image and a link to the artist’s site should you find yourself wanting to buy a piece or two. Maybe for your altar…It’s lovely to know that the feminine is treated as a sacred altar as evidenced in this artist’s work. Let me know what you think. Please, don’t be shy!
Waking The Infinite 
It’s initial practice of tantra just to enter the field of tantra. Later on there is sarvalingamaya body means every chakra behaves as ejeculating wang. There is pleasure sensation of discharge on every chakra. Then one don’t need a female nor like her. Bindu means transmuted semen rising up from muladhara to every chakra. Tejobindu. Naaadbindu. Tejobindoopanishat having secret.
I sure can rely on you to give up the goods on all the cosmic bliss terminology in the Sanscriti. I of course like you for that!
But you know….when I had my awakening I would look at that fountain coming out of Siva’s head and I didn’t know anything about the myths in India, but I got this shot of bliss moving all through me when I saw that. Then I saw how it flowed down into an ocean or lake of milk. I thought to myself, “I wonder if they know what that REALLY is” They were, I thought, being very crafty in how it was represented. “Oh, no sir, it is just an ocean of milk! Sacred!” Only later did I learn what that fountain was and I figured either I lived there before and just knew or I related so completely with the imagery as it’s being alive in my body and mind that it was an immediate understanding beyond cultural boundaries.
What I wanted to say, though, was that it would be even better to do this solitary bliss experience with another similarly awake because bliss begets bliss. But maybe it is because it is the sweetest of all things and I am just like a honey bee, even if I do live now as a monk.
Yes, you are right. It’s terminology in which simple people remain entangled devoid of actual thing but not sharp intellectual like you. Everything revolves around Kundalini. There’s one and one basic thing that’s Kundalini whatever you try to get it. I was getting Kundalini down from brain chakras to heart chakra and sometimes to vishuddhi chakra with potent bliss through khechari mudra. Work of processing emotions handed over to heart by brain in the form of Kundalini. But it needs strong emotions in brain mainly compassion, devotion etc. Otherwise what’ll brain give to heart. So I mean worldly passion and Kundalini meditation runs together, not alone. I don’t what monks in monasteries or jungle have to give. Yes, bindu is my new literal subject and decoding it may be in next blog
I am not a literal monk, I just found that my process proceeded more peacefully when there wasn’t someone else there. A double edged sword. But I experienced the same thing at a certain point realizing the heart center had the ability to heal not the mind, so more and more I just handed it over. Stop trying to reason out things that were never born out of reason in the first place.
But I wonder how they prevent sexual ailments mainly itching in private parts. For short time one can tolerate but how for lifelong these intertwined sexual poses. Is there special tonic or treatment. This main problem is worth considering.
I’m not sure I follow. Sometimes ailments will emerge in a part of the body from a block of energy. If it remains too long, it can manifest in physical symptoms. When I am stumped on a block, I ask myself what the answer is and wait patiently. Often the answer will come when I signal to my deeper self that I am waiting on some other part of me to help me to understand. Sometimes it is some little thing that is out of balance creating something in the physiology that is now different. Maybe there is a change in how the body chemistry now as a result of something energetic that is making the change. I find I have to keep my mind blank during this waiting and not jump to conclusions with my reasoning mind. I have to feel it more deeply and often I can’t get there with the mind because some of these things are not logical.
Love the pics!
Yeah, marriage of body, mind and spirit and the kundalini release when male and female join this way at a higher level….yeah!
I find it interesting how something that at the higher levels of energetic experience serves to clear away stored emotional baggage, which is almost universally described as a libidinous force , sensual, sexual – take your pick- had been turned into an article of shame. It’s almost like somewhere along the line we short circuited our pathway to healing some pretty significant things in us that can lead to greater liberation and health. The trick, though, is knowing that this higher-level form of union even exists.
I was contacting the artist to tell him about stats on the post. It’s interesting. On the day it was posted, there is this huge spike around the post. Views were easily 4 times the average even though likes are smaller than average. It’s an interesting result.
Even those that believe they are on the enlightenng path fall prey to the shame that is equated with sex. My grandmother told me that sex wasn’t to be enjoyed, that it was…disgusting and you did it to have children. There ya go. Shall we dare “like” your post? Maybe evil will drown our first born child if we do. There is a lot of fear around it because of the extremes such as rape, even judgment, the Scarlet Letter, what kind of girl are you…slut or princess? Our false minds of ego really keep us quiet and timid around this topic.
