Biography:
Erin is a tantric yogini, crystal aficionado, singer, clarinetist, pianist, composer, face-painter, Vajrayana Buddhist & Hindu, and believer in the true teachings of the Cosmic Christ. She got her BA in music and studied hatha, Iyengar, bhakti, tantric yoga, dance, Eastern philosophy, and pranic healing outside of school. She is an empathic healer, mystic, masseus, and magician (both sex magic, wicca, and life as a magical practice) with keen insight into human psychology and a novel approach to combining yoga asanas and chakra sounds in order to open all the chakras, including the sacral and throat chakras. She had a full kundalini awakening a few years ago, which was one of the most ecstatic moments of her lie and opened up some past-life and multi-dimensional awareness. She has been around the universe a long time….
Once upon a time in her mid 20s, she accidentally became the clownarchist queen of the L.A. Underground and lived on a fairyland in Topanga Canyon, throwing shocking social deprogramming costume parties, performing Dadaist poetry, performance art, and generally creating all kinds of beautiful madness. Her life was truly like a living fairytale, before crashing down at the height of her fame, divorcing her husband and grieving her father who was murdered. She went from thinking she was going to become a rockstar and model in Europe to having a near-death episode at 27 which sent her fleeing to Tucson Arizona to rest for a few years before the Great Spirit told her move to San Francisco. It was in the ghetto of the Mission that she met her fairy rockstar soulmate who is currently producing and co-writing her first album, a haunting elegy of alien conspiracy and dark emotional landscapes.
Erin is still healing while attending acupuncture school. Her illness gave birth to an intense interest and study in healing, spiritual devotion and discipline, and a passion for crystal jewelry making, including crystal womb belts for female reproductive pain. She is currently getting weekly acupuncture sessions and studying like a prophetic lunatic.
Review of Animation
I may have the image of an animated dog with his head in the toilet forever emblazoned in my mind after checking out the Acids and Bases link. I may not. But what I will always remember is that aspirin, coca cola, citrus fruits, and vinegar are acidic. I actually heard somewhere that coca cola was so acidic it could clean the gunk caked onto your toilet bowl. More chemically speaking, an acidic substance is anything that produces hydrogen ions. A basic substance is anything that produces hydroxide ions. Examples of basic solutions are baking soda, detergents, ammonia cleaners, tums and Rolaids. I learned that when acid and bases react, they form salt and a water. I found a pH chart of common substances like blood and coffee interesting, as chemistry is more intereting when it is connected to the common items of every day living. Some of the other information was dry and technical, and no amount of cute blue bubble boxes and bullet points could make fun or accessible enough to say, yeah, I read it but still didn’t “get it.”
Does the End justify the Means?
“The ends justify the means” is usually a phrase trying to pawn off unethical actions because supposedly, the end result makes it worth the perceived harm of the causes or procedures that go into that end result. My view is that all actions have karma, and it is a fool’s errand to think that shitty procedures produce somehow good outcomes. “The ends justify the means” is a phrase often used to justify war, (including the Gulf War which caused many birth defects of veterans’ children and cancer as a result of the use of depleted Uranium weapons used). “The Ends justify the means” never looks at long-term effects, only immediate gratification for some desired outcome which usually only benefits one party and not the Greater Whole (and really, we are all One). Every single action has karmic repercussion, which is why it’s a stupid phrase to use as an excuse to justify any unethical behavior thinking that if we can just put up with the b.s., we will somehow grow flowers out of it.
