Compare my tantric ancecdote,
http://home.earthlink.net/~glenn_scheper/2005-04-18.htm
The Jesus I saw was only torso; his arms and legs, or in
fact, all below the waist, for I can remember no genitals,
neither garb, were absent.

Yet I treasure this incomplete vision as the face of God.

You know, regarding slothrop in the toilet at the ballroom,
who can bugger God, given that cruciform carpace nailed to
his backside? Yet, I was led, as if following someone so
close before me, as if in an act of sodomy; My approach to
the cross was from behind; I went right through it, and I
WAS him (was HIM), and passed through, and was before Him.

Yours truly,
