Sex on the Spiritual Path
Posted by spiritual4u | Posted on 11:43 AM
Methods of spiritual work can be divided into two general groups:
- “Ritualistic” ones — used by believers who learn very basics of religion (whether they are correct or not is a separate issue) and accustom themselves (with the help of rites, in particular) to the idea that God really exists.
- True esoteric methods — involve special psychic techniques with the help of which worthy spiritual adepts master cleansing and development of energy structures of the organism (chakras and major meridians), transform themselves as consciousnesses into large spiritual hearts and then proceed to direct personal cognition of God — in His various manifestations, including God-the-Father (the Creator).
It should be mentioned here that the basic ethic principles which we have discussed in this and other books , must be accepted as fundamental by all spiritual seekers in application to sexual relationships as well.
The most important of these principles is non-harming of other living beings (ahimsa).
The only way one can fulfill this principle is suppressing one’s egotistic tendencies. Those who have not made the efforts necessary to fulfill the above said are not entitled to practice the esoteric methods. If this rule is ignored God will have to stop such candidates by means of various personal cataclysms in their lives. One of the results of this may be mental diseases.
In order to successfully master esoteric methods of spiritual work a person needs a large amount of energy. Among other factors that determine one’s energy status is proper functioning of the system of chakras. A natural stimulator of the latter is a harmonious sex life. Those people who have not received this kind of experience are unlikely to achieve any serious success in spiritual work. It is hard to even imagine them working with kundalini and creation of Dharmakaya — a stable macrostructure of refined consciousness that is created beyond one’s physical body and consists of chakras’ analogues.
There exists another factor which confirms that for serious spiritual seekers sex life is recommended. The point is that longing for cognition of God must be the main dominant of such people’s lives. And other dominants such as sexual dissatisfaction must not prevail and impede its existence and growth. In other words one has to have an opportunity to relieve an excess physiological and bioenergetic sexual tension in harmonious marriage.
But in this case — I will stress it once again — it is very important that one’s partner is adequate both in terms of health condition and of the level of his or her bioenergetic refinement, as well as the degree of his or her general spiritual advancement.
It is also important to note that a harmonious marriage is extremely favorable for a correct development of one’s emotional sphere — namely, for the refinement of consciousness through development of such kinds of emotions as sexually colored tenderness, caring attention, gratitude, etc. Without this no serious spiritual advancement is possible.
At initial stages of esoteric work the following exercises can be used that can at the same time beautify sexual contact and contribute to successful cleansing and development of bioenergetic structures: uniting energies of same name trunk chakras of partners or join circulation of energy around the “microcosmic orbit” .
However, I must stress that everything that I said about the such techniques can bring the positive effect only for those who have established in sattva. You are welcome to read our books to learn how one can achieve this — and then sattvic sex will help you to strengthen in this emotional status!
This is the opinion of Jesus Christ about this:
“Tenderness is one of the most amazing qualities of God. If only I could persuade all people who are now living on the material Plane to understand the beauty, holiness and greatness of a holy communion between two souls known as sexual relationships! If this is achieved — this alone could greatly contribute to sanctification of this most beautiful and wonderful experience! Until people understand the Divine purpose of this design that exists on all planes of the Creation without exception, many of them will think of it as of some disgraceful animal manifestation that has nothing to do with a holy ecstasy, with this exultation of wholeness. I know that this will change when people read these words. I know — this will touch hearts and change many people. This will produce an unexpected impulse and will make people realize what a terrible loss and distortion was a result of bringing what was supposed to and will become one of the most sacred experiences between two people to such a disparaged condition. It possesses wholeness, this is why we call it holy. This is a perfect and holy communion when performed as a perfect ritual by two people named husband and wife.
(But) under no circumstances I approve of casual sexual relationships. …Under no circumstances ignorance that manifests in casual sexual relationships must prevail; otherwise what you will get is chaos and a decay of the world.”
Sexuality is a natural biological function of any healthy mature organism, equally pertinent to humans, animals, and even plant — at their vegetative level. Sexuality ensures reproduction. In case of people and highly organized animals it also plays socializing role, while bringing up of posterity makes for the development of numerous valuable — in terms of evolution of the Spirit — emotions and ethic qualities.
But a spiritually advanced man also possesses an opportunity to consciously use his sexuality in order to accelerate his progress towards spiritual Perfection. Sexuality for this type of people represents, first of all, a sphere of ethic education. Here everyone can raise from initial elimination of primitive egocentrism — to total control over their sexual emotions and using of sexuality only for the sake of common self-perfection.
What is the reason why in some religious traditions attempts were made to suppress sexuality and to defile it in any possible way? Such reasons are two.
The first one is a quite founded tendency to prevent sexually transmitted diseases from spreading among a population that was lacking culture, at the same time this served as a birth control measure since the society was unable provide many children with food and education.
The second reason lies in that leaders of sects (religious movements that deviated from the Original Teachings of God) tried to subjugate people and to make them dependent on themselves — by means of imbuing a feeling of “guilt” and “sinfulness” into their “congregation”: convincing people that they are hopeless sinners because of the fact of their birth, while asserting that they — the “pastors” — and only they have an authority given by God to free them from their sins; what people have to do is to respect and honor the pastors for that, obey all their orders and, of course, bring them as much money as possible. And, it must be admitted, this kind of lie has found support among crowds of intellectually limited people. Because of people believing in this and similar kinds of lie several mass religious sects have been able to exist for many centuries.
I will give just one example from the modern life of Russia: the name of the central Catholic cathedral in Moscow is “Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception”. I personally would not even come close to the doors of such a cathedral: for the very name of this “temple” claims that only one conception in the history of Earth — the one of Mary, the mother of Jesus (that allegedly took place without a help of an incarnated man) — was immaculate, implying that all other conceptions are maculated… But this defiles all other conceptions! It also defiles all mothers and fathers, all children that have been born — as well as the sexual love between people!
Any intelligent person understands that this defilement cannot be from God, but from impure and lying people! We can read in the Bible that God commanded people to “be fruitful and multiply”, while tender and caring attitude of Jesus towards children is clear from the New Testament.
…But there exists another kind of lie which also gets wrapped in the religious form: the more sex the more intensively one grows “spiritually”, which happens due to accumulation of sexual energy in the organism; and even “ long live masturbation!” — as a means of learning to love oneself!.. I heard this kind of nonsense on television and read about it in the books that were published in Russia during the past few years. This has also been propagated under the name of “sexual tantra”, practical seminars on which are offered for everyone who is willing to pay — without any pre-selection… Sometimes these classes involve various kinds of insult and even “ritual” group rapings, that are a part of their program…
But all this nonsense and lies are a result of either religious ignorance or… a plain desire of the organizers to make money on the lascivious tendencies of their clients. It has nothing to do with spirituality.
Only sexuality of sattvic people can be helpful on the spiritual Path, i.e. that of people who have purified themselves of coarse emotions and primitive passions and refined themselves. But by encouraging lust of the rest one will only do harm to them. Those who refined themselves can also get nothing but harm from bioenergetic mixing that takes place at this kind of “seminars”: since coarse energies that get brought into motion at these gatherings produce a coarsening effect on them and cripple their health.
Moreover, possessing a large energy potential (even if the energy itself is not coarse) — does not lead to any spiritual “breakthroughs” or success. One must direct this energy — by means of special meditative techniques — at the re- creation of oneself in the Divine eons. If one does not do it — all this “activated” sexual energy will most likely be utilized only for further stir-up of one’s lust, which has nothing to do with spiritual work and spiritual progress.
Spirituality implies longing of an individual consciousness (soul) for the Creator — but not for material bodies of sexual partners! Sexuality must by no means displace God from the focus of attention of a person! Its role is to be just an useful method for those who walk spiritual Path together. (Or it is just a normal activity of a healthy organism, like eating or sleep).
Pseudo-spiritual concept of “love for oneself” that was imported to Russia is also vicious: it is diametrically opposite to the true spiritual love, when selfish interests of a person get abandoned and vanish, being replaced by altruistic and self-sacrificial love for other living beings. It is only from the state of this kind of love that one can come to know God and Merge with His Higher Self.
There is also a point of view that for the purpose of “spiritual growth” one must refrain from orgasms. Those who practice this accumulate sexual energy (udana) of their partners in their organisms, without sharing their own udana with them. But based on the ethic considerations we must understand and accept that this is a form of bioenergetic vampirism! It must be viewed as nothing but a disgusting manifestation of the lowest soul qualities of egocentric primitives.
Equally ignorant look also “spiritual” recommendations to swim naked at common beaches: Let them look! You will lose anything because of this!” But in reality one can lose a lot as a result of this, and namely — one’s health. And along with health — many spiritual achievements.
Nudist swimming with one’s sattvic friends, members of one’s spiritual group is one thing. But get naked in the sight of primitives who hate everyone and everything or obsessed with lust, is absolutely another. These people can fill the bodies of their victims with their own pathogenic energy just by looking at them…
Since mere looking with interest represents a contact of indriyas of consciousness with those who are being looked at… .
If people with pure souls admire your beauty — you will receive portions of energy of their pure love from them; both they and you will benefit from this.
But doing the same in the sight of representatives of the opposite pole — will produce a diametrically opposite effect: you may get sick, and get sick very seriously…
We also should not forget about the risk of being raped by this kind of primitive people. In this case bioenergetic lesion can turn out to be even more grave…
Let me draw your attention to the following aspect of nudism: even just obtrusion of one’s ideology on those who do not want it and for whom this is unpleasant (even if the are wrong objectively) is incompatible with the main ethic principle: “do no harm!”.
So, in the end, let us say a few words about “with whom?” issue.
You should begin your own spiritual Path yourself! You should start searching for our Creator! How you can do it is described in detail in our spiritual books that are listed in the Bibliography and in others. You can gather like-minded people around you — and get going along the Path! Steer clear of unworthy people! The unworthy are those who ignore ethic aspect of spiritual work, who do not show progress in it. Together with the rest and with God Who will always be among you — become saturated with the bliss of His Love and present each other with these states! And among true spiritual devotees let there appear the one who will be closer to you than any other embodied disciple of God!
People tend to make a lot of stupid mistakes, to suffer unnecessarily, if they attempt to build their lives having turned away from God. But with God — a real living everyday Teacher of all people, Whom one can cognize if one knows about Him enough and lives in accordance with His Teachings — everything is much easier. And life then gets filled with happiness of creative Service, of communication with spiritual seekers who go along with you to God. Everything we do becomes in this case incomparably more blissful and bright: work, rest, food, sleep and giving gifts of sexual love to each other, in which two pure souls can merge.
The most important of these principles is non-harming of other living beings (ahimsa).
The only way one can fulfill this principle is suppressing one’s egotistic tendencies. Those who have not made the efforts necessary to fulfill the above said are not entitled to practice the esoteric methods.
