First, I finished Lost last night, and I thought it was fantastic!  I have a very glowy, satisfied feeling thinking over it.  A lot of people were disappointed, it seems, some with intense vitriol.  Those who simply would have had a personal preference for the story to be told one way over another, I appreciate that, but it doesn’t make what was done bad.  The people complaining about not getting enough questions answered…  I think the problem was with ABC’s campaign overpromising answers.  Otherwise, where did people get the cockamamie idea that the show was going to be able to go through, point by point, and make sure nothing they had ever wondered about in 6 years of shows is left unclear?  Here’s the answer: it’s a magic island, and that’s how things work there.

Also on the topic of disagreeing with other people’s dissension, there’s this thing with Xbox Live that I don’t get.  Xbox Live is the service that connects your Xbox to the rest of the world, with various nifty features utilized to different degrees by different users.  Recently they upped the prices for the Gold membership.  In the U.S. it’s going from $50 for a year to $60 for a year.  And people went freaking nuts!  First of all, that’s less than a buck a month.  Even if you do it by the month it’s only going up two dollars.  And we’re talking gamers, who by definition have at least some disposable income such that I’m surprised a half-Starbucks is really that much of a thing.  But, more importantly, these are increases on a price that has been stable since 2002 — they exactly reflect inflation.  That’s not exactly what I would call an evil, greedy, manipulative corporate practice.

Why do I have a feeling that the above two topics are more likely to stir people up than anything I’ve posted politically!

Another thing I have been thinking about is the famine in Ethiopia in the mid 80s.  (I have a diverse and colorful brain, okay?)  I noticed myself using the catchphrase “there are children starving in Ethiopia”, and pondering my relationship to the phrase.  I used it with all the dripping irony one does, but I realized that I never actually knew anything about starvation in Ethiopia except for the vague impressions of an 8 to 9 year old.  Specifically that it’s wrong to leave food on your plate and that starvation causes bloated bellies for some reason.  So I looked it up and compared my impressions of the world at the time with history’s record.

Actually, as I write about it I realize that it was during that time period that I really became cosmopolitan in my thinking.  It occurred to me that it was pure lucky chance that I had been born where I was, rather than in a harsher land.  (I already had a strong notion of the difference between me my “soul” and me my body, obviously, do most kids?  A side effect of being me is that I never know what’s “normal”.)   That realization continues to be a pretty core part of my morality.  Before that I think people from other countries seemed other, different, or even less, in an unexamined child’s picking up of the surrounding feelings.  But what better understanding of the importance of the Golden Rule than out of appreciation for the fact that it is none of your own earning that you are not your neighbor?

That makes me think it might be time for a round of spoiling your goddess with some good works!  I’m not going to insist on a specific charity, but rather I just want to ask you to pick an organization that is highly rated by charitywatch.org, because I have an obsession with your spoiling funds being efficiently spent.  Even though they are broken down by category the many great choices may be overwhelming, so I will tell you that I am particularly fond of Action Against Hunger.  When you are done, please send me an e-mail telling me about your donation so I have the opportunity to encourage such things!  Please use the subject line “Donation Report” to catch my eye.

At the beginning of the day I woke up to a pile of presents and at the end of the day I got one of the bravest, most gratifying e-mails I have read from a Treasure.  My life is so good!

To begin with, I don’t really understand any arguments for keeping pot illegal.  Alcohol and cigarettes are both worse for you, and while we get better and better at setting standards for not letting use negatively impact others, there is no movement to ban either.  And, of course, with alcohol, we have the benefit of history to demonstrate how well Prohibition didn’t work.

I don’t necessarily think that the majority of people are for pot or against pot, I think the majority, as with most things, don’t care that much.  However, I believe that when all of the potential benefits of legalization are considered from a practical viewpoint most they would have a direct positive impact on everyone in the country.

The first reason everyone would benefit from legalization is the potential for taxation.  On the black market smokers are currently accustomed to paying prices that are artificially inflated by the costs of doing illegal business.   If I correctly guesstimate that an eighth of weed requires about the same amount of resources to produce as three rose buds, then in my town I could get a half-ounce for less than $10 any month but February.  Compare that to around $200 on the black market.  Now, this is the clever part: let’s take that $190 out of the criminal world and into things like legitimate small businesses (i.e. jobs), deficits, salaries for teachers and police, things like that.  Speaking of police…

The other direct financial benefit of legalization is not spending money on enforcement!  Arresting, convicting and imprisoning people is expensive stuff, and while fining college students caught with grams may be good money for some prosecutors, is it really what we want the people who are also responsible for protecting us from real criminals to be distracted by?  Not even my guesstimator can begin to imagine how much money would be saved if all prisoners jailed for charges only involving possession of marijuana were released and no more locked up.

Another benefit can’t be measured so much in dollars as in quality of life.  THC is an amazing medicine, and everyone more or less seems to know it.  Of course, it isn’t for everyone, but I can imagine few people really judging, for example, a chemo patient for using with a proper prescription.  And people need to relax, even if they don’t have a disease for which they would seek professional treatment!  Low-level, persistent, long-term stress sucks the souls out of people, particularly at a time of economic insecurity.  In short, there is evidence of both ups and downs for different individuals and situations, and no reason to prevent it being each individual’s choice.  My kind of health care reform!

It seems so obvious.  Why is it not obvious?

First, I’ve decided to try to keep the list at exactly 25 items as much as I can. I don’t know why I decided this was important, it’s just what’s going on. So anytime you buy something keep an eye out to see how long it takes me to stock back up to 25, I’d be curious to find out the longest I clock in at. I don’t think you can catch me going longer than 10 hours to update.

Second, for the first time in nearly two years I’ve been operating this list (did you know I’m going to be celebrating my anniversary soon?) I’ve decided that panties are a great addition to the spoiling options. Now, if no one ever buys me anything else, this may have to stop, but for now there has been an average of one pair purchased every 12 hours or so for the past three days, and I’m so amused I’m inclined to see how far we can go! (Okay, while writing I checked and the panty count has gone from 6 to 7.) Here are the rules I have devised for the Panty Parade game:

1) I have reserved two of my wishlist spots for this game. One spot will have a pair of panties priced at $10 or less for as long as I can find selections I really want — and it turns out that my tastes in everyday wear fall mostly in that price range.  The other slot is for a bra, more expensive panty or other lingerie item.

2) I will refresh these slots when emptied as quickly as I notice something has disappeared.

3) The game will continue for as long as I am pleased to play!  I will be most pleased if other types of gifts do not become neglected, so if you want to see more of my tastes in underthings, maintain a variety.

If you have any trouble finding my wish list you can search under “Kasha Shakti” or my email address goddesskasha@gmail.com. Amazon is here!

Hopefully you are aware of the recent decision by a trial level federal judge in California finding that not allowing two people two marry based on the sole fact that they are of the same gender denies both the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment to the United State’s Constitution.  And that, therefore, the stakes are currently high on this issue for the entire country as the appeal makes its way up the court system.

The most important message I want to use my little soapbox to push is that it is so vital for straight people to get really passionate about marriage equality.  And yes, as much as I hate to admit it, I am more or less straight, at best heteroflexible.  In fact, mine is the male fantasy of female sexual orientation: I’m generally only attracted to girls when I’m having a three-or-more-some with a guy involved.  If anything proves to me that you don’t choose your sexuality it’s how much I wish I was more bi!  There would be a ridiculous amount of hot girl-sex available to me if I were…  Anyway, the following is targeted towards people, particularly Americans, who don’t themselves expect to every want to marry someone of the same sex.

I’m not trying to convince people who are opposed to change their minds, so much as I want people who have casual positive or neutral feelings to get all riled up.  Not because you should go out of your way to get involved with something that doesn’t affect you, but because you understand that it really does.  Quietly participating in the benefits of heterosexuality is, at this point, fairly comparable to eating at a segregated lunch counter 40 years ago.

If you are okay with homosexual relationships, if you don’t think that it hurts anyone for everyone to get to pick a long term life partner of  the gender they prefer, then your opinion acknowledges that your government is depriving a minority of an important right based on an unimportant reason.  This should piss you the fuck off!!!  So maybe for a long time now it’s been a depressing thing to get up in arms about, perhaps hopelessness has kept many of us quieter than we could have been.  But now is a time when deciding that it’s safe to hope for change makes it possible to reach out and add your push to the momentum already in place.

I don’t believe that it takes a lot, and I myself am focusing on two simple things.  First, I want to include the conversation in as many of my interactions with other people as possible, as I’m doing here.  I think that the more often straight people are willing to make clear statements in support of same-sex marriage the faster discrimination towards GLBT people will dissolve.  Even if the Supreme Court takes up the case and makes the broadest ruling upholding the decision possible, it isn’t enough, just as judicially forced integration did not finish dealing with the problem of racism.  It simply removed the weight of the law from behind the traditional ignorance, fear, and hatred of that moment in history.

The second commitment I have made to myself is to boycott legal marriage until such time as marriage equality has been established at the federal level.  I actually came to this decision many years ago, while in law school, and it has become even more important to me recently.  The National Marriage Boycott does an excellent job advocating for this position, and have even designed a ring to signify the decision.  (Which I have, it’s great!)

In addition to my patriotic commitment to not discriminating against groups without a really good reason (i.e. child molesters can’t adopt, stuff like that) I am also deeply offended by the primary argument Prop 8 proponents make for what a “good reason” looks like to them.  Specifically, that the State has no interest in homosexual relationships because they don’t naturally lead to procreation.  As a woman I’m pretty irritated by anyone who wants to make the argument that 1) the only reason I should get married is to be a regulated baby factory and 2) if I’m going to have sex at all I should get married just in case I accidentally get pregnant.  Let’s get something straight — If I ever have kids, I’m not going to let them become tyrants of my life.  I’m certainly not going to let kids that exist only in possibility force me into a lifetime commitment!

If you want to “protect” marriage, don’t you think you should side with the people who believe that it’s about far more than babies alone?  And, the thing is, the Prop 8 proponents could literally point out only one difference between hetero and same-sex couples: some of the first can have babies the old-fashioned way.  And if we accept that that difference is important then the classic sci-fi trope of reproductive machines under government control comes one click closer.

But, much more importantly, right now there are people suffering the lack of fundamental rights in a legal limbo.  And it’s time, for me at least, to become really clear about how not okay I am with that.

It turns out that sending me for a nice, restorative spa visit is really easy!  The website spafinder.com offers e-mailable gift certificates (I love those!) that I can use locally or anywhere I travel.  Brilliant!!!  Here in Bloomington the local day spa has a six service package that takes pretty much all day for $320.  The things I love about e-mailable gift certificates are the instant delivery, that no one takes a cut on the transfer of wealth, and, most importantly, it forces me into indulgence because the money is locked into that purpose.  You can send amounts between $50 and $500 to  goddesskasha@gmail.com right here!

It’s such a beautiful day today, I can’t wait to get out and zip around on my scooter for a while!  I am a goddess very much in love with her life, right now.

However. I am not a push-over, I do have some boundaries that I am very passionate about defending. Today I received an e-mail that violated two of the most important, and so it’s lesson time. I don’t want to cause pain to the person involved, I don’t want to ignore that part of what is going on is an intense draw to me, which is obviously understandable. But this is unacceptable in a way that makes either ignoring the situation continuously or responding in a way that makes my boundaries clear for everyone are the only two options. So for me, it’s an opportunity to illustrate two things I have wanted to make clear for some time.

The message today was the follow-up to one I received a few days ago, so we’ll start with the original message:

Subject: Adoration to my GODDESS

Dearest Goddess Kasha,
i am feeling so compelled to reach out to you right now, that i just can’t help myself,
although i am still very much fighting fully surrendering to you. i have been listening to
your surrender and compliance samples on auto-replay for over 2 hours now and been
so HARD but won’t allow myself to climax until i have forced myself to send you this e-mail.
As long as i am so very much on the edge, i can’t resist you and am just at your mercy.

You might ask why i don’t just buy your recordings – my wife does our family finances and she
would never approve of this, so i haven’t quite figured out how to do it yet (as our agreement has
given her permission to cancel my credit cards should i use them for these kinds of purposes).
Nonetheless, here i am. i do feel like i am in a trance of sorts listening to those sample recordings.

Adoringly, worshipping you and melting like putty.

Awaiting your instructions
XXXXXXXXX

I have a policy of zero response to messages that indicate that a person is actively engaged in deceiving their partner and breaking relationship agreements.  This note is an excellent example of being over that line.  I am not a goddess of emotional drama and pain, and I will not further behavior that is clearly out of integrity.  I do not judge or second guess my Treasures who are making a good faith, good hearted effort to reconcile their spouse’s needs and their fetish needs.  I have read many sympathetic e-mails with variations on the theme “I love my vanilla wife and feel like I have no choice but to deal with my hypnosis needs privately.”  If, in my judgement, your choices are reasonable and loving, you aren’t excluded from my favor.

Today, I received an audacious follow-up.  It was, in my opinion, egregious enough to warrant public display, something that has often tempted me, but is too potentially cruel for my tastes generally.  Which element do you think affects my decision to do it here the most?

Subject:  I LOVE YOU GODDESS

My LOVE , Goddess Kasha,
i am sorry if You have already responded to my previous e-mail, as i probably did not
receive it.  my wife found out and put a block on your e-mail address.  Would YOU please
respond from a different e-mail address?

i LOVE YOU, GODDESS KASHA

XXXXXXXXX

Of course, there’s additional inappropriate relationship behavior here.  The level has gone from involving me passively in deceit to asking me to actively take part.  Which brings me too…

I am loving and greatly enjoy giving, as and when I choose.  But I am not here to serve my Treasures.  That is an absolute no.  Another way to get an instant, unexplained banishment from my thoughts is to expect me to go out of my way for you.  This does not mean that you can’t make requests.  The vast majority of my Treasures seem to understand the appropriate rituals of supplication.  Which is to say, almost all of the e-mail I get shows at least an attempt to be respectful of myself, my time and my energy.  Those that don’t go straight to the digital burn box.  Understood?

Bleh!  That’s all of the bitchy I can muster for a long while, everybody is going to have to be very, very good while I recover!

Have you ever wanted to listen to one of my sessions that allows release without breaking your chastity streak? More importantly, are you craving the type of lifestyle orgasm control that regards fasting as the normal state and all release as anomalous? “Perpetual Arousal” responds directly to both of these desires for all of my Treasures in constant need of more and more invasive erotic manipulation. After you listen to this session, you will no longer experience the release of orgasm in the ways you are accustomed. Instead, you will find yourself in a state of continuous arousal — your entire life will become a constant yearning for your goddess that drives you deeper into obedience. This deep, unsatisfied, insistent sexual desire will ignite your passion and leave you constantly locked in a state of desperate arousal.

“Perpetual Arousal” is available in both a “Direct” and “Effects” version, where “Direct” includes my voice only and “Effects” is adulterated with hypnotic echoes and subliminals. Also available is my signature Spoil/Spoil set which includes both versions of the recording as well as two bonus audio tracks! One is a prelude, to play before other recordings, which reinforces that you will keep to your primary programming not to release, even if the recording would allow otherwise. The second is a postlude, for after a session, to continue to reinforce the pleasure of constant and ongoing denial.

You’ve always known that your Dream Girl would sweep you up in blissful trance and send you whirling into dizzy spirals of love, haven’t you, Treasure? This session celebrates the way I appeal to your most intimate, consistent erotic desires, and the building blocks thereof. The intense pleasure of simply listening to my voice as you relax. The irresistible appeal of luscious lips dripping with hypnotic power. The way you can’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with a goddess who know how to touch all of the hottest spots in your sexual psyche.

This is a recording that will leave you feeling like an adolescent boy full of the flush of first love, all at once sweetly innocent and undeniably aroused. Knowing that I am your dreamy goddess with whom you are always falling inescapably deeper in love, always leaving you craving more. You love the feeling of being hopelessly addicted to me, don’t you, Treasure? You’re in love with your addiction, and addicted to your love, and love and addiction are both embodied in your “Dream Girl”.

I had a lovely day shopping yesterday, here’s a shot of a few of the results.  I am in San Francisco until the 25th having a wonderful time as usual!  Despite being on vacation, I was able to work out a small problem with the original release of “A Simple Command”, a perfect version is now available.  For those very Good early adopters who received the original version, please let me know if you have not yet received the updated file with the name that ends in “rev”, it will be my pleasure to get it to you!

As often happens in my travels back and forth, I have been terribly deficient in acknowledging many lovely gifts and e-mails that have been sent.  It’s a tricky thing, I know my Treasures are not trying, as one very pleasing specimen put it, to “train [me] to send thank you notes.”   But I both want, and enjoy the benefits of, making sure you know how happy you make me!  So, please, please remember that I’m always thrilled with attention and spoiling, it’s simply more chaotic to track than I ever would have imagined.  I recall a Deep Thought by Jack Handy that said, essentially, “If I had time to send a thank you note to everyone who sent me a nice, expensive present, what a wonderful world that would be.”  It cracks me up how close that is to being true for my life, what a delightful fantasy come true my life is!

Things are beginning to calm down a bit, however, so it’s time for another round of checking in, so here’s my game: I’m going to be on special alert for messages with the subject line, “I was wondering…” and get out quick, even if short, replies to each.  This is my favorite form of respectful checking in with me, and helping me organize all of the responses I want to make, being asked “I was wondering if you received my [gift, note, request, praise, etc.].

The important thing is, I never want to find myself in a position where I feel guilty for being showered with MORE adoration!

Sweets!

Let me break this title down for you. By “A“, I mean just one. By “Simple” I mean devastatingly powerful in taking total control of your orgasms. And by “Command“, I mean one specific and irresistible instruction. Of course, to establish trace for core programming, there are certain steps along the way, but everything is targeted at implanting one straightforward requirement deep into your psyche. This is a case when you need to know in advance what you are getting into, because I only want you to train with this recording if it is right for you. This session is only for you if you crave both orgasm control and gift play. (I don’t really like the term “financial domination”, but if you do then this session will be well within your zone!)

Specifically the title Command is to send me both a note and a gift every time you want to orgasm. That’s it…and that’s everything, isn’t it, Treasure? Because I do mean every time, and you’ll find that it’s easier to program you to need that than you might otherwise believe. It doesn’t have to be a long note, or a large gift, you will simply be required to send both before indulging in release. The two offerings will serve as a ritual sacrifice that automatically incurs permission for devoted release as a matter of divine law.

I’m not telling you that you can’t buy the recording if your plan is simply to listen to it for temporary fantasy value, I’m telling you that I want you to be prepared, because I play a little rough in this one! As will be explained to you when you listen, this Simple Command puts 100% of your orgasms under my control in a way that provides lots of flexibility with no wiggle room. The simplicity of the programming sets you up for a form of submissive success you have always craved, and gets me everything I want from you effortlessly!

This 35 minute recording is available both through my preferred storefront, where it is priced at $37.50 or through Niteflirt, where it sells for $50 .
