About Me


Are You Working Out from the INSIDE?
FREEDOM comes from within
- not from a Flag In 1994 David Parker created in London
“Queer Love Quest” Personal Development Seminars
a contribution to the new Queer uprising, initiating a 12 year programme focusing on
improved Relationships, healthier thinking, soul search and sexual exploration. www.myspace.com/theswarmite
In 1998 in STOCKHOLM Sweden
'Queer Love Quest' became the 1st Personal Growth Programme
to be invited by EUROPRIDE on to it's official Festival Intinery.
In 2007 David now offers under the banner of
GAY MENTORS
this unique myspace page to enlighten, amuse, honour
and bring together gay men who inspire themselves
and mentor others by example.
Chems have became the new light source energy in Clubs or on the net , that’s for sure,
but at some point we have to face ourselves in the mirror for love handles or messy mishaps.
Most Gay Men won't go near New Age but what is CHILLOUT, TRANCE & HOUSE ?
- nothing short of shamanistic tribal meditative rhythm.
The drug highs offer a temporary taste of Spiritual bliss
only to avoid remindin' you that a comedown price will be paid.
The tribal home of CLUBLAND offers a safe haven to LET GO and experience
a rarified sense of Freedom in a world of NO PDA ( Public Displays of Affection ).
It's time for a Recognised Same Sex Union of CLUBS & SPIRIT.
Popular self help books rarely offer same sex lifestyle experiences
and funded health seminars can have HIV as the core issue when we have
many other issues which are not being explored -
like mentorship, ageing, addictions, codependency and life management.
So this page is a place to inter-connect as a MENTOR or maybe find one.
Over the past 20 years the viral crisis has taken many Daddies away, men destined to
be our future role models after the fire of gay liberation.
Now we succumb to a virus called Youth as the impact of HIV pales into significance
- however hope shines bright as older gay men en masse are
healthily reaching middle age with Class A clubbing, net dating and travel fever.
These are the NEW MENTORS for the next generation

My Interests


Welcome to GAY MENTORS,

your input is needed in COMMENTS . .
COMMENTS is the place to suggest books, fave music, mentoring ideas, notions, slogans or your own experiences of Personal Growth

. . each FRIEND is carefully selected to be compatable with the message of this page, so connect with surety - no crap bands or pouting minxes . . . plus we try our hardest to edit out chronic bulletin senders, spammers & Private profiles

20 TOP FRIENDS will be regularly rotated.

Now don't get us wrong, we love a bit of bells n smells,
happy clappy floaty fabric and New Age malarkey but our dress code suggests that KITTENS, sequined Angels ( unless it's a drag queen ) & pics of
lickle ickle fairies may be more in keeping on other pages. . .

REMEMBER : Our Door Whore Madge is fierce

. . . Maybe it's time to check out my habits
before it gets too much - I love clubbin' n messy weekends
but where am I goin' ? -
so many distractions. . . . Am I Man enough for ACTION ?

Chill Out - Just coz we do CLUBS 'n stuff
doesn't mean we don't walk The Road Less Travelled,
magic up THE ALCHEMIST, practice THE FOUR AGREEMENTS,
pick up ECKHART TOLLE, have Conversations with God and get high on Marianne Williamson while many older mentors honour the Affirmational Queen Bee herself - LOUISE HAY.

This book was the ideal bedside prop in every 80's AIDS film right up to PHILADELPHIA - I first read it in 1984 when EMPOWERMENT
was the buzz word, before chems were king.
It can seem a bit dated now but the message that
THOUGHT IS CREATIVE still rings true.
Try it and see if it works for you.

In 1985, Louise began her famous support group,
"The Hayride," with six men diagnosed with AIDS.
By 1988, the group had grown to a weekly gathering of 800 people and had moved to an auditorium in Santa Monica.

An early Rebirthing Breathworker, Louise started a movement of love and support long before people began
to wear red ribbons in their lapels. A true Mentor ( and now a Millionairess. Those Affirmations DID work. LOL )

Marianne says : EVERYWHERE is a Church
( that must mean Backrooms then? )
so remember to get on yer knees - play safe and insist that
Spirit & Sexuality mix like a Hot DJ set.

Finding a Spiritual route that suits is such an adventurous journey since
so many options prevail but many Gay Men confuse Spirituality with Religion.
This is the first obstacle to overcome in Soul searching

Many MENTORS are atheist or agnostic, some challenging themselves in conventional non - spiritual Therapy - we applaud this stance and have
no desire to change that here on myspace

We all have a role to play

While the gay ravers of Vauxhall and beyond may think they’re onto something new, they are, in fact, practicing an ancient form of meditation.
The use of repetitive beats to induce a trance-like state is prehistoric, universal and likely to be everlasting. Whether it’s a rabbit skin bongo, hand claps or a computer generated kick drum - it’s the beats which offer the escape from oneself.
To seek foot-stomping, arse shaking, hand waving release in a large group of people makes the high more intense and the energy easier to absorb.

Drugs offer a shortcut, but aren’t essential -
except perhaps at an afterhours on a Monday afternoon. The endorphins released while dancing, mixed with the joy of a shared experience are as primitive as sexual desire and spontaneous creativity.

Basically, since the dawn of time, humans have been ‘aving it large.

We can all be MENTORS for the upcoming generation of Gay Men -
maybe you're one of them, who have survived Clubs like
TRADE & LOVE MUSCLE but feel displaced, enjoy Personal Growth,
have made succesful life changes, are maybe Gay in 12 Step Recovery
or have been in therapy
and can’t find other gay men embracing CHANGE.

Do you read Self Help Books and never get round to the exercises
( LOL - we all do that ) or hit spiritual books only when the going gets tough?
Without being too PC - equality and all that, we also feast on YOGA dudes,
Bi-Guys, gay alternative therapists, panthers, chilled out musicians,
trancy djs, gay dads who offer direction plus CLUBS, Organisations
and spirits that support our journey.

Be willing to Walk the Walk . .

. . . and Dance like WonderRobbie

This page is for you, any age, who simply
want to connect with each other worldwide.

Music:


GAY MENTOR - UK Creator of Queer As Folk & innovative Writer of Dr Who
Russell T Davies

"I'm gay. I'm a fag. I'm homosexual. I'm queer. I'm a poof, I'm a fagggot, I'm a poofter, I'm a ponce. I'm a bumboy, battieboy, backside artist, bugger. I'm bent. I am that arsebandit. I lift those shirts. I'm a faggot-ass, fudge-packing, shit-stabbing uphill gardener. I dine at the downstairs restaurant, I dance at the other end of the ballroom. I'm Moses and the parting of the red cheeks. I fuck and I am fucked. I suck and I am sucked. I rim them and wank them, and every single man's had the fucking time of his life. And I am not a pervert."
