sex
Sex
yes, we all want it
don’t we?
we desire it, dream about it, phantasize it and go for it when ever we can
it is all over the place
the whole advertisement business is driving on it, not to mention the porn industry, internet is full of it and the movies too
sex sells, they say
teenagers do it, old people probably too, even priests find their crooked ways to it and the rest of us, we have our ways as well
it’s truly basic!!!
it has not changed so much since our ancestors did it in their stone age caves
just like breathing has not changed much
or walking
it’s basic
it’s sex
the game of the sexes
the male/female game
(even is same sex coupling)
the attraction, the seduction, the erotic games, the love-making, the intercourse, the orgasm
yes we know it all well
how many times have we done it already?
and still we want to do it again!
“so what”, you say:
“that is our nature! the biology! Procreate! Be fertile and multiply!”
keep your genes going
let the species thrive
(well, hold on a bit please! we already have seven billion of us here anytime soon, no need really to produce more of us constantly :-)
sure there is biology
but i have the feeling that there is more to sex than what meets the eye
or the instinct, for that matter
more probably then biologic instinct, sensual pleasure and ego gratification and social norm …
all of that is fine in my eyes and has it’s place in the whole scheme of things
but there is more to it and maybe it is time to consider that and to break thru to that expanded experience of sex
i think in sex we touch on one of the strongest and most mysterious forces of life
and we don’t even know it
most of the time we are quite entangled with and probably also satisfied with the habit of sex
and we don’t take the time and courage to feel deeper into it
or we just don’t know how
how to explore the core of it
even in our normal, instinctive ways of sex there are some interesting and extraordinary factors to notice:
during a healthy sexual act we are
– much more present in the here and now than in most other circumstances
– we breath deeper, we breathe more than normal
– we are in a sensing / feeling state
– we are in our bodies, we experience thru our body
– during orgasm endorphins, joy hormones are released in the brain, triggering rejuvenating processes all over the body system
– in the moments of orgasm we experience a short state of no-mind, it is also called “the little death”
i mean this is the moment where everything else disappears, the job, the bankloan, the weather, the ozone layer, the mother in law …:-)
– in the situation of a sexual encounter with another person we inevitably open our auric field to the field of that person
this is the situation that is custom-made to feel the other deeply, to let her/him in to our heart and soul
sadly, i know this is not always so
just too often sex is used for all kind of ego purposes
and the promise of a true union is not fulfilled
but this fact does not do away with the potential of sex
with the opportunity we get when ever we are willing to turn mere sex into love-making
when we open up to deeper layers of the sexual energy
when we are willing to see the bigger, archetypal picture of this act
male and female coming together, masculine and feminine energies merging, yin and yang creating a wholeness
this is a truly extraordinary event!
i would call it cosmic, a sacred thing
our universe as we know it is based on polarities, is a world of duality
sun – moon, black – white, man – woman, subject – object
just as the development of consciousness in a individual person is moving towards an enlightened state called unity, where the apparent contradictions of duality merge into a synthesis – oneness -, so the evolution of the universe is moving towards a ever higher order of integration, a higher dimension
in our place, in our space / time quadrant i think this next higher order can presently be called the fifth dimension
can also be called unconditional love
can be called soul
love needs to be infused into our sexual acts
the highest possible level of honesty, presence, joy, care, respect, quality, time, relaxation and openness should be applied every time we come together in sex
listen inside, feel, let go of the habit of performing, let go of concept, let the moment guide you
trust the energy
there is nowhere to go
orgasm is not a goal to be attained
orgasm will come in right time
or not, it does not matter
what matters is the moment, the intimacy, the closeness, the atonement, the perfect dance
opening of the hearts, opening of the chakras
this prepares for the merging
the union
and what comes then we can only discover
not talk about it, i guess
and of course, there are techniques, there are ways people have found that can help to accomplish such a state
ancient ways
nothing new and too sophisticated
but that is another issue …:-)
for now – just enjoy it!
