Giving Love...
How many people realize the final goal of Nature or the spiritual roots of sex? Do they make any difference between physical sex and spiritual sex? Do they get any helpful advice on sexual power? Social prejudices obstruct the sharing of knowledge and experience on this vital topic. It is hard to talk about sex and maintain any dignity. Sex is often perceived as something hidden, dirty and forbidden. Although that’s exactly what makes it so interesting, it’s what brings so much violence into it and why it is misused. Religion has greatly contributed to this unhappy state of affairs. Other cultures have not imposed similar taboos. Sex is considered crucial as a form of energy patronized by sages all over the world like Vatsayan, Osho and in mythologies of the Egyptians, Greeks, Aztecs etc. Male semen has been attributed with hidden healing powers. Because of this supreme form of energy, there are beautiful flowers and tasty fruits in Nature and it is this grandeur, which poets try to depict in their lyrics. Sex has also played a very significant role in evolution through which involves genes and chromosomes as this can only occur through sexual reproduction. In Indian culture sex is accepted as a sacred act of creation. When the goddess Shakhti, embodying the feminine, and the god Shiva, embodying the masculine, are joined as one in their fusion, the cosmos is born. The cosmos is born out of an erotic union between the male and the female. A famous disciple of Osho (Indian seer) - Margo Anand has called sexual fusion "a much more juicy perspective than the one that tells us to honor the prophet who was nailed on the cross to redeem our sins." This is, she goes on revealing religious hypocricy, spirituality based on pain and punishment. Love and sex are not a sin but a natural and enjoyable basis of life. Tantric (spiritual) sex is a path like yoga or zen. Tantra is considered a door to enlightenment which is reconditioning the human body, mind and soul. Sex is a skillful means, among others, that we use to awaken spiritually. There is no more challenging meditation than the sexual meditation, because in the sexual meditation, everything comes up: your timidity, your self-doubt, your lack of self-esteem, your lack of trust, all your past experiences that condition you to fear Love. Here is what the teacher Osho has said on meditation and the spiritual role of sex: "Every religion is against me. Their profession depends on condemning love and praising meditation. They know you cannot attain to meditation, and they know now your love is condemned, it is a sin. You will never experience any orgasmic phenomenon, so meditation will remain just a philosophy, and your life will remain loveless, angry, full of rage, ready to explode at any excuse. Because where will your energy go?It could have become peace, silence, joy, blissfulness. You did not allow it to become that. That repressed energy turns into poison. That's why everybody is irritable, annoyed, worried, tense. The simple reason is that they have lost the natural source of relaxation. No animal looks irritated, annoyed, angry, because they don't understand the language the priests speak. Animals have never heard that celibacy is spiritual. Of course they cannot attain to meditation, but they are far better than those human beings who could have attained meditative heights, but have lost even the simple biological experience of orgasm. What actually happens when one couple moves into the realm of orgasmic experience? What actually happens? Every point has to be understood. Time stops. For a moment the pendulum does not move, and that single moment seems to be almost eternity. The two persons are no more two ― for a moment. They have melted into each other. There is no thought in the mind, for a moment. It is all empty and silent, and these are the things which have to be deepened in meditation. And once you have tasted them, you will be surprised that it does not depend on the other person. Something happens within you. Something happens within the other person. But it is not dependent. If you can sit silently, if you can manage, by watching your thoughts, to bring a gap, a stop, you will suddenly see time has stopped again. And now it is in your hands, not in the hands of biology. You can keep this time stopped as long as you want. And once you know the secret key.... Critical views on sex are also abundant. Some of them are focused on one of the major negative social effects of free sex - it has led us to an enormous world population of 7 Billion - a heavy burden on the natural resources of our planet. However, tantric sex is precisely the path to solving this problem...
The power of love can create miracle in your life and the surrounding you live in. To live a life of love, expand your vision completely outward to all areas of the universe and see love in everything. Remember, we are love and love is all, we are all one Absolute whole, the stars, planets, trees, mountains and all things that exist are simply the waves of the love of the ocean of the universal consciousness. Start loving each and everything unconditionally that your mind conceives, throwing away all pre-conceived notions and prejudices. The power of love has the potential to transform even your deadly enemy to become your best friend and well wisher. If there is any one in your life that you have ever had estranged relation, have fought emotional battle with or have stop to see him/her anymore, take a movement to send forgiveness out to them. Take a moment each day to do something that brings forth love to all around you. Creating and sending signals of love do not materially cost you anything; a loving thought or a compassionate word can create magical impact on someone who feels unloved or uncared. A loving thought carries with it the creative power of transformation and evolution. Ego based love with emotion of sex and romance is not the true love; it is the infatuation of mind putting on a self-image, a social mask. Love is all encompassing, all embracing and all pervading associated with natural impulse of compassion, without any attachment to emotion.
We are nothing but the physical manifestation or embodiment of divine love of the Mother Nature, the source of the all encompassing creative power of God, individualized in each of us. Realize the true meaning of love from a divine and creative perspective and sow the seeds of love compassion and forgiveness, wherever you live, go or work. Live a life of unconditional love with a vision of oneness that enlivens you as well as others.
Human power is limited by beliefs and imagination by: Anonymous
Nothing is impossible...
All aspects of human life are limitless. We live in an ocean of unlimited possibilities. The only self-imposed or socially conditioned/invented limitations are: beliefs and dogmas. No human can live without a belief - no matter what: that God exists or that God does not exist. This is the perennial dispute between materialists and idealists and nobody can provide any proof!
The paradox: belief is precisely the subject of FREE choice everyone has to make! And whoever tries to "sell" you beliefs (dogmas, worldview, etc.) can be considered as an enemy trying to rule over you! The reason?
I guess, because the human mind (brain) perceives/creates an individual reality...
