Sacred Sexuality

[Guest guest]

" You have repressed sex , even as you have repressed life, rather

than fully Self expressing, with abandon and joy. You have shamed

sex, even as you have shamed life, calling it evil and wicked, rather

than the highest gift and the greatest pleasure. "

Given by God to Neale Walsh

Conversations With God Book 1

Science teaches that our physical bodies are not as dense as they

appear and that there is more space within our bodies than there is

density. Sacred sexuality is about sharing and exploring an intimate

relationship with this inner spaciousness beyond the dense, material

body. It's a state of living in the vibration of the soul. It's about

accessing our souls–the parts of us that remember bliss beyond

measure. Afterwards, everything we do becomes an experience of union

with All That Is.

The term sacred sexuality has many closely related meanings. But

since the word sacred refers to " the spirit " and sexuality refers

to " the body, " the two words combined describe a merging of the

worlds of spirit and matter, or the soul with the body.

Sacred sexuality is about experiencing levels of ecstatic bliss and

unconditional love (usually only attainable through prolonged

practice of advanced meditation techniques) and, most importantly,

bringing these experiences into our daily lives. It's ultimately

about living bliss and not just feeling it. In practicing sacred

sexuality, we learn to live within the material world while

integrating an experience and vibration beyond this world–one that

feels ecstatic and almost uncontainable. This vibration translates

into consistently feeling unconditional love for all people and

things, which is why it can be called living bliss.

In sacred sexuality, all aspects (physical, energetic, emotional,

mental, and spiritual) of our beings are utilized to arouse the

fullest experience possible. With this higher focus, we become keenly

aware that we are all more than bodies. With the increased depth and

sacredness, it becomes easier to open our hearts and allow our

partners into the sacred spaces of our souls. Then sexual ecstasy

occurs at the point when our bodies are merging with spirit, as we

disappear as individuals and become one with everything.

Change is in the air. Cosmic cycles large and small are unfolding

throughout the universe, which are beyond our control. The mystics

knew of these things eons ago. For us, the age of Pisces is fading

into the twilight and a New Spiritual Milieu is dawning. It is

irreversible.

These will be times of profound inner transformation and self-

discovery. And the pace of this change is accelerating daily. Those

who fear this change will not evolve nor will they have an easy time

of it. Those who do will awaken to their true spiritual nature and

cosmic heritage.

This New Spiritual Milieu, a time love, peace and harmony, will bring

our fears to the surface so that we might have the opportunity to

confront and release them. There will be some challenges and some

pain for each of us. But there will also be a sense of renewal and,

finally, joy and ecstasy.

The age of materialism and self-gratification is coming to an end. In

its place, we will look within ourselves for understanding and a new

sense of awareness that will bring a greater sense of meaning,

purpose and peace to our lives. Love will guide our intentions. Fear

and ego-based thoughts will no longer be appropriate or accepted. All

of this will have a major impact on how we view sexuality.

The New Spiritual Milieu is a result in the change of the attitudes

of the people of this world. We will have this life and other future

lives (for those who believe in reincarnation) to experience its

magnificence. Its theme will be love, unity, harmony, sacredness,

peace and happiness. It will not happen overnight, but it will

happen. As this golden age unfolds, we will find ourselves putting

aside the traditional concepts of male-female unions that have

brought us to this point in our cosmic journey as a human family.

They aren't working because, for the most part, ego, control and fear

were their basis. That is now ending.

This New Thought of spiritual partnering will be based upon

unconditional love, an all-embracing friendship, openness and the

freedom to be oneself without fear of insult, judgment or

retribution.

This new awareness about relationships will take some time to occur,

but new, visionary partners will no longer feel a need to be linked

to one another by a legal document or an ornate wedding ring. Rather,

their union will flourish because of an unselfish desire to be

together out of true love. And such, relationships will be far more

rewarding than those based upon ego and fear.

This New Spiritual Milieu will also bring about a renewed sense of

sacredness in all things, including female-male couplings. Every day

the feminine energy on this planet strengthens and makes its presence

and influence felt, after thousands of years of suppression by male

dominated thinking. Men and women will no longer bond as unequal

opposites. Rather, they will partner as balanced, spiritual beings

who are fully aware that their union with one another is an important

part of their ongoing, cosmic evolution.

This renewed sense of meaning at the male-female level will bring

with it far more joy, intensity, passion and lasting fulfillment than

we have ever experienced before. These kinds of partnerships will

have a spiritual foundation. And the lovers and children that spring

from such unions will usher in an era of sacred sexuality.

It is sad to see what has happened to sexuality over the past 2000

years. Without a doubt it has lost much of its cosmic meaning.

Christian religions have turned it into something that is filled with

guilt and shame. The media has used it to satisfy their need for

greed. We have overused it to satisfy our desire for self-

gratification in the material world. Let's face it. We're lost on

this one. How did we reach this point? By allowing ourselves to

follow the opinions and judgments of others who have a vested

interest in this area.

And yet, at the other extreme, I'm sure we will all agree that there

are those precious moments when sexuality can be the most profound

way to express our love for another. I can think of no other

experience that can compare to the physical ecstasy and emotional

pleasure derived from the intense feelings of oneness created as a

result of unselfish, sexual intimacy between to individuals who truly

care for one another. This gift of love did not happen by accident.

It is all a part of the divine plan. Over the years we have drifted

from its true meaning and intent.

This New Spiritual Milieu will also bring with it a profound change

in the reasons why we enter into romantic partnerships with another.

The institution of marriage is failing miserably because of

expectations, needs, control, fear, domination, judgments, and other

ego-based actions. It is a known fact that ever 1 out of 2 marriages

end in divorce. I am convinced that the future of long term

partnerships and sexuality will have a sacred basis to it. When one

awakens spiritually, all things become sacred.

Below are some passages about sexuality from a " Higher Source " who

spoke to Neale Walsh in his incredibly popular Conversations

with God books. Quite frankly, I can't compete with the wisdom and

knowledge they contain. Hopefully it will make you think and wonder a

bit about the sacredness of sexuality and how to bring it into your

lives...

God speaking. " First, let's be once again clear that nothing is

disapproved by God.

I do not sit here in judgment, calling one action " Good " and

another " Evil. "

Walsch. How should we deal with this incredible experience called

sexuality?

God. Not with shame, that's for sure. And not with guilt, and not

with fear.

For shame is not virtue, and guilt is not goodness, and fear is not

honor.

And not with lust, for lust is not passion; and not with abandon, for

abandon is not freedom; and not with aggressiveness, for

aggressiveness is not eagerness.

And, obviously, not with ideas of control or power or domination, for

these have nothing to do with love.

May sex be used for purposes of simple personal gratification? The

surprising answer is yes...

You are told you are not to use sex for personal gratification

something, which is intensely personally gratifying.

You are especially not to feel good about joys of the body. And

absolutely not about sex.

Well, the good news is it's all right to love sex.

Yet do not choose sex instead of love, but as a celebration of it.

And do not chose power over, but power with.

I created the two sexes for the same reason I put the " ying " and

the " yang' in everything... in the whole universe. They (the male and

female energy) are the highest living expression of it in your world.

All of it is necessary for you to experience life as you know it.

Walsch. How may we express this thing called sexual energy?

God. Lovingly. Openly. Playfully. Joyfully. Outrageously.

Passionately. Sacredly. Romantically. Humorously. Spontaneously.

Touchingly. Creatively. Unabashedly. Sensually. And, of course,

frequently.

....for goodness sake, don't destroy sexual innocence and pleasure and

the purity of the fun, the joy, by misusing sex.

Don't use it for power, or hidden purpose; for ego gratification or

domination; for any purpose other than the purest joy and highest

ecstasy, given and shared which is love, and love recreated... which

is new life.

Life should be a joy, a celebration, and it has become an experience

of fear, anxiety, " not-enoughness, " envy, rage and tragedy. The same

can be said about sex.

Sex is an extraordinary expression of love... love of another, love

of Self and love of life.

I have given you nothing shameful, least of all your body, and its

functions. There is no need to hide your body or its functions... nor

your love of them, and each other.

You want to experience yourself as a person who has sex without love?

Go ahead! You'll do that until you don't want to anymore. And the

only thing that will - that could ever - cause you to stop this, or

any, behavior, is your newly emerging thought about Who You Are.

Those who evolve to a high level of understanding bring their bodily

desires into balance with their minds and souls.

You are three-part beings, and most people experience themselves as a

body. You are more than a body with a mind... when was the last time

you said hello to your soul?

The biological imperative (to mate) is not to guarantee the survival

of the species, but to experience the Oneness, which is the true

nature of your being.

Remember, you are a three-part being, with seven chakra centers. When

you respond to one another from all three parts, and all seven

centers, at the same time, then you have the peak experience you are

looking for... that you have been created for!

If you are having sex from only your lower chakra center, you are

operating from the root chakra alone (selfishness), and missing by

far the most glorious part of the experience.

.... sexual energy alone, when not raised to higher chakras and

combined with the other energies that make one a whole person,

produces choices and outcomes that do not reflect the whole person.

These are often less than magnificent.

Yet if you are being loving with another person and coming from all

seven energy centers while you are being that, now you are having a

peak experience.

So here is the invitation. Raise your energy, your life force, to the

highest level possible in every moment, and you will be elevated.

This has nothing to do with having sex or not having sex. It has to

do with raising your consciousness no matter what you are doing. "

As I've mentioned above, when we begin to awaken spiritually,

everything becomes more sacred, including sexuality. As we begin to

leave behind the notion that the world outside us can bring lasting

happiness and fulfillment, we'll begin the inner journey. Along the

way our Oneness with All That Is will take on a new and wonderful

meaning. When that happens we realize that sexuality is a magnificent

gift to celebrate our love for another.

In ancient times, sexuality was considered sacred. We worshiped each

others bodies as temples where the divine feminine and the divine

masculine reside. Our sexuality is a gift from the Divine and is

meant to be shared in a safe and loving environment-- without a sense

of guilt or shame. Bless all of your past sexual experiences. They

are valuable reference points. Without them how could you eventually

experience and feel the sacredness and joy of a physical union based

upon unselfish love for your spiritual partner.
