Week 1: Our Biological World

Week 1: Our Biological World

Erin is a tantric yogini, reiki master, crystal healer/jewelry maker, creative androgenieass, Star-clad Goddess of Sex & Death, Vajrayana Buddhist, and- on a side note- believes Christ was a Pleiadian. Erin’s kundalini fully rose at 29 and opened up multi-dimensional awareness and her ability as an empathic healer, mystic, masseus, and magician (both sex magic, wicca, and life as a magical practice) with keen insight into human psychology, the ability to read people, and a novel approach to combining yoga asanas and chakra sounds in order activate all chakras, including the sex and throat chakras.

After suffering her first clinical depression during Ivy League prep school a few years after her father was murdered, she threw herself into alternative healing, yoga, and completely broke with tradition by throwing wild, social deprogramming parties incorporating performance art and public chaos magic. In the process, she became a sexual performance artist, clownarchist, goth opera singer, and galactic rockstar advocate for the presence of starseeds like herself (akin to David Bowie’s mission back in the day).

In an unexpected twist of fate, Erin became the infamously reknown anarchist queen of the L.A. Underground social punk movement and was known to her fans and friends as “Log.” She had a Voodoo Zombie performance art wedding with her ex-husband “Toylit,” aka James Mathers, whose claim to fame was as Andy Warhol’s muse back in NYC. Together, Toylit and Log threw a series of avant-garde punk performance art nightclubs called “The Never Ending Costume Party” and “Timeship Medusa,” and multi-media interactive Dadaist poetry events. Toylit and Log also co-authored a series of Dadaist poetry books called “Crap Poetry,” a literary bowel movement of the ages.

A near death episode at 27 promptly forced Erin to change her crazy rockstar life and she moved to Tucson Arizona to heal for 3 years before re-locating to San Francisco. Her healing practices deepened and broadened during this time as she went from being a kids’ yoga dance teacher and rockstar, to not being able to walk a city block for 5 months with an unexpectedly long recovery time which continues to this day.

While attending acupuncture school part-time, Erin is currently working on a film blog, “New Age Gangsta,” and recording two E.P.s: one for M.O.M: Mutant Orgy Manual, and the other an album of classical inspired gothic/alien piano and opera compositions. She’s working the doctor diva duality.

Class Discussion: It is no wonder during our introductions that I got embarrassed when my classmate introduced me as being from L.A.- considering that L.A. is the narcissistic wound of the planet- and has quite possibly- the poorest air quality in North America. However- besides the vapid cultural context of L.A.- known to some residents as Hell Lay- it comes as no surprise to me that L.A. ranked number 1 in the cities polluted by ozone. After living in Tucson Arizona for about a year, I came back to visit L.A. via Amtrak and noticed a palpable difference in the air quality the second I stepped off the train and into the downtown L.A. station. I thought to myself, “No wonder I became so sick living in air quality like this.” I wouldn’t be surprised if- in the future- L.A. becomes the Number One city for artificially grown Lung implants.
