I don't know what you were expecting when you click on this post, but it will probably be different then what you may have been fearing but were curious still to see. Or perhaps you could see past my "shock value" tactics.
i will try to keep it brief, and as always I will be keeping it in my briefs....moving right along...
I will be taking about my thoughts on sex leaving out as much of the back story as i can and just get down to business.
Amidst a life time of dealing with, being born as a result of ,participating and avoiding to one degree or another... SEX. I have come to some operational conclusions, I say operational in that my life is a work in progress and as far as realized knowledge is concerned this reflects where I am at, while recognizing that there is much more to realize and apply.
the gradual cyrstalisation of thought has now becomed a little more polished if you will, by the abrasion of life and now shines crystal clear (i know poetic aint it)
new light has illuminated these thoughts during my recent travels to San Francisco thus they occupy my mind
now and I feel compelled to dedicate it to writing.
when society seeks to gratify the senses independent of the full function of the senses and the outcome, the society is in a diseased state, when we eat with out concern for the nutritional value of what we eat, but simply for the independent pleasure of the tongue, ill health will result. On the positive side when we find that balance of nutrition, and taste ,even when we add the element of sacred ceremony and make as an offering of love to the divine source of our sustenance, how much better, the tongue is please the belly digests and assimilates thus the body is nourished and all parts of the body thrive and perhaps even The Almighty is pleased as well.
perhaps this is a satisfactory exploration of the pros and cons
Similarly SEX (all caps to provide a sense of magnitude) when engaged simply as an act for pleasure can be seen as a source of social dis-ease making life more complicated or uncomfortable, Not only is unrestricted sex the source of many diseases now of great concern to the population of our planet, but the natural out come of sex , the miracle of bringing another being into the world, or pregnancy is treated with the same disdain and fear as getting an STD. Doesn't this seem off? the same act can bring life or death but both are treated the same way with the fear being a hinderence to enjoyment.
Spending a week with my baby niece Hladini Shakti devi dasi or affectionately known as Lali, really completed the relization for me.
she is so sweet, I felt so fortunate to have the opportunity to serve her, to feed her, to have her fall asleep in my arms, to comfort her with sweet melody's. the joy of sex compares nothing to this joy yet the two are some how linked by divine arrangement that the outcome of the profound pleasure of SEX is the proud responsibility of bringing life into the world ,of protecting and guiding this impressionable dependent being ,into a free standing individual and member of society at large.
From this point of view what good could we expect from having sex separate from the sacred act of reproduction and instead have haphazardly children in the matter of cats and dogs .
the Hysteria around sex gets quickly satisfied when mature spiritual knowledge is cultivated, it looses the guilt and shame and moral punch and instead is understood as a conduit for divine love. The sex principle being the means by which loving relationships of the absolute can be expressed. Since this is a public form I will not go into detail. to understand the Transcendental Sex Principle the great knowers guide us to first humbly submit at the feet of God as transcendental servants, free envy of the enjoyment of God, then one can understand.
The experience of sex is secondary to the relationship, the crude example I came to and shared with a friend in a regrettable but well intended chat message, is in the instance of porn.
As a child being introduce to the subject by the older kids of the spiritual community in which I was raised, primarily with judio-chistian right and wrong morality with a Hare Krishna makeover (shaved heads and saffron robes) as a newbie' to the whole thing, I was often bored with and confused as to the existence if the limp plot lines, I thought why bother when we really know it is just about the sex, my not entirely baked mind hadn't come to realize that the limp story was there because the sex alone wasn't satisfying enough....because it lacks relationship, (sometime perhaps I will also share my observations on Fashion and how it relates in this regards). It is all about relationship and the story that is told, why else would we blog?
I haven't joined a Christian Promise Group with Miley Sirus or the kids from Highschool Musical
but I am committed to honoring life and pleasure in the units that it comes in. I have been blessed with the message of Godhead in the form of Bhagavad Gita As It Is, from someone who walked the walk and talked the talk, who told it straight when every one else was saying if it feels good do it, follow your bliss, be here now....with out concern for the consequences.
for my part I would rather life a life of longing than a life of regret
so that's it folks (i threw in the bit about porn so that you didn't feel cheated)
its funny because my go-to question when i first get to know someone is how they lost their virginity... a good ice breaker and always funny :)
ReplyDeleteI can shar ethat with you some time..but my lawyers advise me to not post it publicly ....just kidding D:
ReplyDeleteI view virginity, in a way, as a state of mind, perhaps I was just influenced by Madonnas "Like a Virgin" song when my tender mind was developing.
but it is an un escapeable fact you either done it or not.
my grand mother used to say (she was brought up as a full fledged SF Victorian)
"fools names and fools face often appear in public places"
though I may be a fool I don't want to have any girl with whom I had relations be made a fool too, (though they did get involved with me so perhaps...)
and my momma always say
"don't enjoy a girl like your wife , unless she is your wife."
hearing her words in my mind has chilled a steamy romance more than once
This is an amazing blog. Thank you for sharing.
