....the Starry Gold is rising in the blood!

Engulf the fear that binds you with your True Power!
Invoke your Violet Flame Super Powers and clear the channels so that you may hear the New World Science rising from within
Emerging from the gift of your true selves.

So Sayeth The Sun-
I Am the Original Beauty Engine
A seed creation ever beginning, in you!
Flame letters scribe impossible origins within your chest

Gratitude and Praise!

To the children of the moon and flowers that dwell within the twilight essence of shining stones and moist grottoes
To those of the Gaian Heart of Beauty embodied

As our blood twines by moonvine and mirth merriment
We Vow to ring in The New World Revels!
Freedom and Beauty take flight!
Gratitude and Praise!

So Sayeth both-
To The Horned and Hooved,Feathered and Scaled…
Thundering haunches and winged hissing coils furling and arching across the arch of time
feathered rainbow light above and flashing swift strength in the Wood
If we are Truly humbled and Truly bold enough to behold THAT magnificence within our cells
We shall Rise together as One Great Central Sun
Gratitude and Praise!

To the spirit of the fool who gives us courage to laugh and feel joy in spite of it all
Joey Grimaldi Puccinello Bumble
You ageless echo laughing at our first fall, too old to die

In you we are the spirit of the May Faire
Dust and straw painted in our bones a ridiculous assembly of slapstick finery
Good Times Ringing Eternal!
Merry Merry Hey, Merry hey!
Gratitude and Praise!

In living praise, Maiden becomes Mother in these festivities
Whispering to the congregation of things found and joined
Of healing and soft victories
In Celebration she fills us with moments of remembrance when all is brought to right and thus becoming so!
So Let us sing Praises to the countless dervishes, harlequins, gypsy magdelenes and dakini bambinis aflame with the Shekinah!
Let us sing gratitude to all those inebriated of the Goddess that have,
In their hot-tongued pursuit of their own awakening helped show us the way!Gratitude and Praise!

In our celebrations, in our revels, our dance and love making,
we rise together and fill with a new light
expanding the joy of Creations Grand Play-

And So Sayeth The Star-
I am the calling forth from the secret rising dawn,
a shining wind
Blowing from a boundless space
I am empty so that I may receive Creations’ Grace
Rose Dawn singing in a Golden void
Shine! Shine forth your light bringing gladness,
fellow stars of Emerald and Sappire
Spill forth, spill out and be Radiant with becoming!
in Joining, we are a new-hued wonder, magnificent to behold….

For the Good of The Whole and The One
We invoke direct experience of the ECSTATIC MOMENT for all beings
And Thus Dedicate The Science Of Celebration
Merry Merry Hey Merry Hey!
REPEAT X3

Rosa Mystica Awaken in The Heart of Everything
And Fill us with the gold that we are!

Radiant Gold
Radiant Black
Rose Blood Light Singing Our True Lineages
Behold! Divine Transforming Science of True Will!

-------------------------

Human evolution is a dance and the Earth is a great dance hall.
… strains of a beautiful melody wash over us from some orchestra sight unseen, notes cascading through us in strange and thrilling ways-
We close our eyes and allow this music… to‘pull’ at every cell in our body…
…and we surrender ourselves.
effortlessly- we join with the essence of Waltz itself and suddenly we understand.
Someone has to be first on the dance floor….

Early Superstar Avatar Experience Architecture

The Beauty Engine Experience –
Your Beauty Makes The World…

Overview & Mission
The Beauty Engine supports the sharing and celebration of Individual and Community Abundance, defined in both tangible and intangible terms:
Tangible: skills, services, products and goods
Intangible: ideas, stories, visions, expressions of personal artistry and good-will

The outer expression of BE communicates a sense of abundance, well-being, rejuvenation, exploration, connection and transformation; both for individuals and communities.
The inner expression of BE exists to its’ participants as a network of shared goods and services that places value on the act of community participation before one’s own gifts or agendas.
BE recognizes the value many communities place on aesthetics, ideologies, gender exploration, personal development, spirituality, good will, topical issues, etc. as factors by which they identify themselves and each other.
BE caters directly to the needs of these communities & Indiv. by offering profiling tools that place these values in a shared “economy” database along side tangible goods and services.
BE thus supports the intuitive exploration of intellectual and aesthetic subject matters as a pleasurable, enriching experience; engaging participants in sensual, creative, and fun ways that reflects them as the initiators’ of their own process.
BE hosts a neutral space for these diverse communities and individuals to mix, exchange knowledge, share values and invites participants to become ‘cross community’ explorers in the Beauty Engine’s content rich world.

Values
· BE supports a true experience economy by hosting an environment of exchange that supports both tangible and intangible goods and services.
· BE provides an affinity-based open structure that facilitates cross community exchange, exploration and celebration without agenda, hierarchy or

Incentives

· Establish a Beauty Engine Charter that communicates its goals, values and operating standards.
· BE “seal of approval” program for participating indiv. and communities that agree to operate within the range of the Beauty Engine Charter.
· The use of a “soft technology” approach to provide access to the Beauty Engine content ecology that is “soft, open and intuitive”. (puts human experience before tech.)
· Use of the Star7 relational color mapping interface for navigating BE content.
· BE provides both virtual and live models, called “Journeys”, which support experiences combining sensory, entertaining and informative elements to engage participants.
· Establish The Living Mystery School as a part of the BE journey component which utilizes
The challenge structure of Star7 “reality gaming” mechanics.

In the ecstatic giving of the self, we know ourselves ever more
In the sharing of gifts and the mutual adoration of Beauty there is no grabbing!

Goddess says- ‘All acts of Pleasure and Beauty are my rituals!’

Abundance is felt as a continuously flowing dynamic
Moving through us, as us…. to parts unknowable
Taking the essence of our ecstatic moment ….of communion…. with it
To enrich the whole
To lift and flavor and colour the mandala

Rainbow Lights sequencing the Ship
signaling arrival from
The Wondrous Mystery, here to the knowable present experienced against
All warnings and cautionary tales-
Abandon All Despair Ye Who Enter Here!
True light is beyond all human notions of both light and dark
True Light of Beingness invites us to expand beyond all thoughts
All comprehensions, beyond all limitations….all these words

Beingness of True Light is the most Ecstatic State of communion possible
Are you open to The Central Sun within your Heart?
For it cleanses and gracefully works with our local mind-body-heart-soul in expanding according to ever more subtle frequencies

Fool Magicians stumble between desire and emptiness
Seeking to fill the cup
then
Seek to empty the cup
to lose all thoughts of a cup at all
And thus becoming the cup, increasingly ever more

Be filled with Creations Light!
So Mote It Be x3, x3

Deep Musings from The Professor

Superstar Avatar Flight Plan 1.0
From: Professor Violet
Being a Transmission from The Lotus LightShip-
currently hovering somewhere within The Superstar Nation- on the full moon

Greetings to you-
My fellow avatars, Kinky Salon community members, Sex-Kitten Priestesses,
Ecstatic Terrorists, seekers of Truth and Beauty, Heroic servants to The Goddess and all those divinely possessed by StarFireGold that courses through our veins.
Greetings from The Lotus LightShip, humming and hovering here at Mission Control.
Many of you will not know me or recognize this ’voice’.
Though my grasp on words (and Reality…) may seem a bit strange and fruity to you, for best effect, i invite you to allow the ESSENCE of what is transmitted here to simply wash over you.
So, tuck your head under your arm, dear friends, and let us sit to Tea for a bit,
Here, in the twilight realms of Infinite Possibility and Wonder.
Here, aboard The Lotus LightShip, a ‘party central’ nexus of Evolution.

Allow me to introduce myself-
I am Professor Violet -the Dreaming Avatar- 001,
A Lotus-Born Hyper Dimensional Medicine Man, Rainbow Serpent Rider and Harmonic Navigator-
A Superstar L’amourian Priest/ess, Champion of BEAUTY and Experience Designer
The Man Behind The Superstar Avatar Curtain

Though part of me is still reluctant to admit it, I awoke within The Cosmic Mandala of Creations’ own Heart, one desert night, 6 years ago.
I was brought to a fierce state of awareness (and humbled to my metaphorical knees) by the POWER THAT IS, which I found, much to my surprise, residing within my own heart.

I admit it is my fond allegiance to the FOOL which allows me to come out and share such ridiculous sentiments for I have no desire to be anyone’s saviour.
Well, a Fool’s tongue and a ‘sometimes’ heart of pure, violet flame.

Hear this, Avatars Realized and those still sleeping…
The Starry Gold is rising in the blood!
Come out, come out wherever you are, Avatars of near and far!

Spare no magnificence, no matter how awkward or fledgling you might feel yourselves to be!
We are so young, so new….
Come out and play, tentative hearts!
….and take stock in the fact that there are many among us that DO support you.
That do share the fear of being ridiculed in your amazing strangeness.

In The Name of The True Gold of The Soul-
Cast off the fear that binds you!

You all feel it though you might not recognize it for what it is.
Our Destiny with Ecstatic Wonder!

The avatar skins that many of you have worn as chrysalis these many years no longer serve you, am I right?
Yet, you are afraid of losing your identity, of losing your community and friends if you explore the bold new territory that beckons from within you-

In our very private moments, do we not allow ourselves to sing and pretend we are the very essence of unbounded love and personal power?
In your secret sanctums, do we not feel it pulsing through our veins and open ourselves to a kind of undeniable Glory?
In our heart of hearts, do we not harbor secret fairy tale endings and moon-filled meadows where we are wed to our TRUE loves in ecstatic embrace?

Though society would tell you that this is pride of the EGO, a form of delusional, self-serving vanity…this desire to experience ourselves as ‘God like’…
Good news.
The Superstar Nation is rising.
I see you all in your magnificence,
….and yet you continue to feel separate, alone.
You feel unsupported in your desires to embody your truth here on Earth.
You begin to open yourselves to your muses, to each other, beginning

You do not need to seek permission from ANYONE to embody the essence of the TRUTH you feel rising within you.
Why? Because there is no-one to ask.

Its like human evolution is a dance and the Earth is a great dance hall.
Our past is sitting in stiff chairs against the wall, still stuck in the present.
We are afraid to ask the pretty girl/ the handsome gentleman to dance, for fear of refusal.
Or fears’ sake or doubt or self-loathing; pick your poison.
Yet, (and oh how I love the YET…)
… strains of a beautiful melody come to us –washing over us from some orchestra sight unseen, melodies cascading through us in strange and thrilling ways-
We close our eyes and allow this… ‘pulling’ at every cell in our body…
…ultimately, surrendering ourselves to this magnificent feeling.

Then, we join with the essence of Waltz itself and we understand.
Someone has to be first on the dance floor.

Quotes From 'Finite and Infinite Games'

So if The Bible could be edited to one page,
this would be it....

Finite and Infinite Games James Carse
There are at least two kinds of games: finite and infinite.
A finite game is a game that has fixed rules and boundaries, that is played for the purpose of winning and thereby ending the game.
An infinite game has no fixed rules or boundaries. In an infinite game you play with the boundaries and the purpose is to continue the game.
Finite players are serious; infinite games are playful.
Finite players try to control the game, predict everything that will happen, and set the outcome in advance. They are serious and determined about getting that outcome. They try to fix the future based on the past.
Infinite players enjoy being surprised. Continuously running into something one didn't know will ensure that the game will go on. The meaning of the past changes depending on what happens in the future.
All games are inherently voluntary. There might be consequences of not playing, but there is always a choice required. Driving in the right side of the road, shaking people's hands, and paying taxes are games one has a choice about playing. There are certain rules and boundaries that appear to be externally defined, and you choose to follow them or not. If you stop following them you aren't playing the game any longer.
There is no rule that says you have to follow the rules.
All finite games have rules. If you follow the rules you are playing the game. If you don't follow the rules you aren't playing. If you move the pieces in different ways in chess, you are no longer playing chess.
Infinite players play with rules and boundaries. They include them as part of their playing. They aren't taking them serious, and they can never be trapped by them, because they use rules and boundaries to play with.
In a theatrical play the actor knows that she really isn't Ophelia. The audience knows that she really isn't Ophelia. But if she does a good job, Ophelia can express herself through the actor. The playing is most enjoyable when it is both clear that it is chosen play, that it is the actor doing it voluntarily, and at the same time it is so convincing, following the rules well enough that it seems real.
You can play finite games within an infinite game. You can not play infinite games within a finite game.
You can do what you do seriously, because you must do it, because you must survive to the end, and you are afraid of dying and other consequences. Or, you can do everything you do playfully, always knowing you have a choice, having no need to survive the way you are, allowing every element of the play to transform you, taking pleasure in every surprise you meet. Those are the differences between finite and infinite players.
These ideas are paraphrased from the book:
"Finite and Infinite Games - A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility" by James P. Carse

Distributed Accountability

Distributed Accountability is The Key or Community Building Logic 101
“How to have fun with friends without it all going terribly pear-shaped”

The following is a suggested breakdown of steps taken in the formation and maintenance of a community.
There are clearly many models by which communities form, this merely serves to help inform our needs to clarify a “process” for community action.

1 A community first identifies by way of shared interests/ “affinity”
(Individuals connect and self-organize)

2 A community then creates and/or adopts a set of etiquette and standards
(Individuals form consensus agreement and adopt guidelines)

3 A community operates and maintains these standards
(Individuals use guidelines to participate in community growth/ activity and maintain community by these standards.
If collectively agreed upon, distribution of accountability amongst the community (with support from appointed “caretakers”) effectively decentralizes structure.
Community members assist with the maintenance of the community by upholding standards according to collectively agreed upon methods,)
…How the standards are upheld is as equally important as the standards themselves.

Now apply the logic….

1 A community first identifies by way of shared interests/ “affinity”
Polly and Scott invite individuals and groups they feel share a common interest in self-expression, creative exchange and intentional community
As community instigators they “curate” an environment dedicated to these things.
Attendees of gatherings invite friends and their networks.

2 A community then creates and/or adopts a set of etiquette and standards
First standards/ etiquette adopted from “Fetish” /play-party communities on a “general” level. Standards upheld by inner circle of members and shared with friends.
Community growth occurs; the combination of “third circle” invitations (allowing the “yahoos” in) and a lack of community-supported set of standards- lessen the quality/ intention of the original vision and community begins to wobble.
Constructive community feedback combined with collective expertise prompts creation of a Kinky Salon House Charter / STAR CHARTER (standards of etiquette) and suggested methods for upholding these standards.

3 A community operates and maintains these standards
KS House Charter presents standards for operating the community and intention behind its’ original creation.
KS re-invites all existing members to adopt and uphold this Charter as their community “Charter”. (Distributed Accountability)
KS community adopts and recognizes the position of “host” and invites any interested community members to step up to this role for monitoring and maintaining the Charter standards at KS gatherings.
KS encourages “hosts” to perform their duties discreetly and compassionately.
KS encourages community members to uphold the standards of the Charter in the same manner as hosts.

Invocation To The Star

Shining star in an emerald sea,
I open to the Mystery of your deep song rising.
I am the calling forth from the secret rising dawn,
parting rainbow cascading mists-
Rose dawn shining
With rays of gold

Shining Star in an emerald sea,
I am the shore upon which your gentle waves crash
Awakening cells to rise
Your promise now trumpeted in
Rose dawn singing tales of gold

Here, where there is nothing but becoming
I am a radiant shining wind
Blowing into a boundless space
I am empty so that I may receive
and be filled with your Grace
Rose Dawn striking in a Golden void

Shine! Shine forth, star of emerald and Sappire
I Am the light bringing gladness!
I am magnificent in Joining!
A new-hued wonder to behold….
Spilling forth, spilling out
Radiant with becoming
Beloved, Beloved you are…
Beloved, we are becoming
In this rose dawn gold
Singing place

Building Consensuality and Trust

Playing with Consent- a good topic for discussion!
It is the numero uno point on both The Kinky Salon Charter and The Superstar Nation Star Charter for good reason, and thus, not only worthy of discussion but an essential issue for us I feel….(with regards to moving forward as a community.)

I can say that almost every point where I saw either ‘breakdown’ or ‘room for improvement’ at the May Day Ball came up around this very issue.

First points that come to heart…..

1. Honoring Agreements
This is a major point in creating and establishing TRUST.
TRUST in needed for SAFETY.
SAFETY is needed for individuals to open up and share from an authentic place and what helps make for quality experiences!!!!

ONE:
If we make agreements with each other, lets honor them.
TWO:
If we make agreements with each other that we realize at some point we cannot honor , lets agree to check in to reshape the agreement (not just ‘check out’)
THREE:
If we make agreements that we feel we are honoring but others feel like we are not, lets agree to be open to hear their feedback with an open Heart and open Mind.

2. Respect for yourself and Others
Respect is an essential component in creating an environment of Consent.
Respect yourself ; awareness of how you treat yourself, carry yourself amongst others, self-tolerance, self-compassion, humor

Respect others;
Awareness of how we treat each other, respecting others boundaries, sensitivity to differences (not projecting our standards onto others!), open ourselves to receive each others’ gifts,
Be compassionate to others as we would like them to be in return (to coin a phrase…)etc.

Invocations to Superstar Districts- Allegoria and Shamandala

Allegoria
Praise to whimsy, wonder and delight!
May the heart of us be golden, playfully light….
And strong enough to embrace the darkness that resides within.
In Allegoria, play is a living form of make-believe where we allow ourselves to explore the worlds we truly wish to live in.
Here, permission is given to PLAY because there is no tomorrow, no dinner time and no curfew.
Allegoria is a haven for all things strange and fantastic, a portal to realms of the imagination from all times –all periods.
The age old definitions of light-dark are but playful conventions to the citizens of Allegoria; and understood to be essential components of the Grand Play here in this enchanted world of worlds.
Allegoria invites us to remember the time when we experience the world with rose tinted hue.
Avatars of Allegoria, may we lose ourselves to the allure of MYSTERY, here on the edge of imaginations fertile plain.
Fairy Tales, children’s tales, folk tales, mythology and legend are the roadmaps to start us on our adventures.
Who of us has not been touched at some point by the power and beauty contained in timeless tales; enchanted woods and shining caves, Fairy Queens and innocence regained?
Why? Because every last one of us, no matter how we may grieve the loss of our wings, have mythic blood in our veins.
The many faces of the hero, the goddess and all manner of archetypal personas
Invite us to meet them, here in our blood… in the sunny glades and misty meadows of Allegoria.
To feel wonder without guilt, to feel our childlike nature without self-awareness, to be spontaneous, to peek into the dark forests of our psyches and laugh …..this is Allegoria beckoning.

Invocation in Shamandala
Truth is personal, and yet the world assumes to tell you that your business is in accepting Truth as a commodity, a thing to be bartered, sold and prostituted.
The world would tell you that you cannot possibly be an expert on Beauty, and that you must accept THE standards, TRUST the professionals.
So, we consume what we are told is Truth.
We accept foreign models of Beauty as our own, selling ourselves out every day, in so many ways because ….because….
Because every day we spin from the wheel of poisons….self-doubt, lack of self love, fear of humiliation, fear of not belonging, fear of your own power, of not being received, of being too bold…
Yet, and how I love…yet…
the tide is turning, friends- and we all know it
the tide is turning and we feel it pulling in our bones like some Pied Piper….
We are called here not only because we cannot contain the Truths we are all experiencing …but because we choose to celebrate them!
…though in celebration, our truth may make us appear Unique, perhaps even foolish and plunge us into strange waters….who cares?
Lets take the chance together…if it helps you out, I’ll make a fool of myself first….
Our truths, our perceptions, what we choose to hold dear…. If these things are the only true possessions we really have, of course I want to share them!
….And if life is an experience economy, is this not our only real, true currency?
We are remarkable creations, humans, experience engines designed for infinite expression, exploration and Ecstasy.
Though by some you would meet, you would think we are merely recording devices at best; designed to mimic and parody everything we consume.
So Let me tell you this, friend, I am not interested in your regurgitated ‘Spirituality’.
No.
Lets be Playful Masters together.
Let’s experience the harvest all our tools now have to afford us,
And though we celebrate our many diverse tools; healing, magickal, shamanic , philosophical tools…let us not forget…..
Playful Mastery is the point at which we can set our tools down because they have become such a part of us.
The Masters Play because they know direct experience is the goal : infinite reward and infinite learning.
What need do we have now for the Tools Enlightenment, there is too much Beauty to explore.
Truth flows and so do we,
Venturing forth….our sails full, the Shining Stars leading the way…
straight on
into the Heart of Creation.
