I'm not asking this to cause controversy, but out of real curiousity:

 

What are the religious beliefs of the escorts on this board. Were any devout Christians at any point in their lives?

 

Thanks.

IMHO..It's more a matter of who contributes to their "Bank Accounts" having less brains. The girl's seem to be doing quite well, as brainless as they seem to be. Jessica did get TO DO Nick for quite awhile, and he moved the Furniture! LOL :7

>So you are an original "Son of A Preacher Man". ;-)

 

 

I sure am, hehe. There's a song about me too. ;-)

I am a devout Christian right now. My main church is Metropolitan Community Church, which is a very inclusive church and is open to the idea of open relationships. I also am studying Tantric Yoga, as taught by Body Electric, and SriSri Yoga - neither of which causes any problem with my Christianity. And I think there's a little Taoism in there, too - ditto. And I practice Reiki (not as often as I should) which is very nondenominational. So, when I am doing/teaching it with a client, I have to be very careful not to call the Source God, nor the chi the Holy Spirit, nor the Higher Self the soul, unless I have already checked and he's a Christian, too.

 

Not too far off the subject - Does anyone remember the name of the Renaissance nun (or female saint - maybe both, I don't remember for sure) who wrote poems about how Earthly pleasures can lead to us seeking Heavenly ones? I have been looking (not, admittedly very hard) for one of her poems for my web site for about a year and haven't found one since I can't remember her name!

Not sure if she's your lady because she wasn't from the Renaissance, but Hildegard of Bingen was a medieval mystic who believed that people were the crown of God's creation and everything was put in the world for people to use. Since all on earth was of God, these "earthly pleasures" lead us to seek and know God. As she writes, "The soul may... let the flesh take delight in earthly things."

 

She also had a very positive outlook on human sexuality. I'm not sure she was a poet, however, she was a very talented musician and lyricist...in fact, much of contemporary "new age" music is patterned after her wistful musical movements. Even if she's not the one you're looking for, you might be interested in some of her songs and writings.

 

Hildegard is often referred to as a "Saint" but she still hasn't been canonized and my guess is that with her rather progressive view of nature, humanity and grace, it will not happen anytime soon.

Hey Rick...so how does one become a member of your religion? Have to go through any kind of training or rituals? :9 And btw...when are you coming down to sunny Florida? Need to know when to start planning a welcome reception for you and Derek and Juan and Kevin! ;-)

I know Hildagarde van Bingen's music. I have a CD of it which I use in that cooling off period right after either the Big Draw or the Happy Ending. Where in the old days, they would have smoked a cigarette together? But I don't smoke and can't stand to see a handsome naked man smoke. And all of my clients are handsome in their own way.

However, I don't know of any of her poetry, either. So, I don't think she's the lady I'm looking for.

shit they had a course on this at Fordham and they had 3 or 4 chicks from the Renaissance names like Matilda, Hildegard (did she start the Beguines ?) and I cant remember last name maybe Beatrice (or was that dante's chick ?)

Beatrice was Dante's chick, I think. Of course, the name was also a character in Shakespeare. It's not like she had a monopoly on the name. So, it could also be our mystery lady's moniker.

It was her, describing the different states of bliss and ecstatic trance that she experienced while being in the presence of her Lord...

 

Sounds like a very passionate experience to me everytime I read anything by her. (Especially if I combine readings from her and from St. John of the Cross at the same time... they might have been more than very good friends.)

 

My favourite (and most desperatey passionate) poem by her is when she claims that she slowly dies, precisely because she is still alive. (Thus being prevented from rejoining her Lord, at death.)

 

Pretty passionate gal.

Yes, Juan, Teresa of Avila definitely was a passionate gal who longed to experience the "raptures" she describes in her writings. One of my favorite quotes from her writings is : “Remember: if you want to make progress on the path and ascend to the places you have longed for, the important thing is not to think much but to love much, and so to do whatever best awakens you to love.” So Juanito, what best awakens you to love? :9

Yes, that sounds like the name I was looking for, though she sounds a bit "hotter" than I remember the poem. But, then, I met it in a class and they may have toned her down for the twentysomething kiddies. Thank you very much. I shall look her up.
