Spirituality and Sex

4/1/09

As I was driving home from work today, I was wondering how many of Us have read Daniel's articles on Spirituality and Sex recently? Or the Reconnections transmission? ???? So, I went to the Reconnections site and find that DJ has a fabulous buffet of transmissions and articles about Our current topics right there on the main page.
http://www.reconnec tions.net/ index2.htm Feelings, what discussion of sex isn't about feelings? Shadow work, I think that's kind of where We started this discussion. Then an update on Spirituality and Sex. Even a transmission about Your Perfect Job, is that where the spirituality and sex discussion will take Us?????
Wanna jump straight into the original transmissions on spirituality and sex?
http://www.reconnec tions.net/ spirituality_ and_sex_index. htm this page has the links to All 7 transmissions and DJ's 6 articles. Did We even remember there was that much material???? ??
Lots of great meat to feed Our hungry palates.

I decided to take My Own advice (something I do on occasion) and I re-read the first transmission on spirituality and sex: http://www.reconnections.net/spirituality_sex1.htm
There's a lot of good stuff in there. I especially noticed the parts about the goddess religions and the temple prostitute. I truly feel a connection to the temple prostitute and that would explain a lot of My feelings/experiences regarding sex.
I was pondering the re-emergence of the goddess religion, which has All-ready begun and which I think most of Us look forward to more of. It certainly seems to Me to be an integral part of the Age of Aquarius which I like to refer to as a world built on sharing and caring.
There are many ways in which the goddess religion can re-emerge. One way is for the pendulum to swing to the opposite extreme from Our current patriarchal society and We could become a predominantly matriarchal society. To Me, that is just another form of the same ol', same ol'. Mirror images (opposites) are really the same, simply in reverse.
Another choice (a seemingly new choice) would be for Us to swing the pendulum to the center or balance point. The pendulum has been swinging from One extreme to the other for long enough that the momentum should be slowing and to let it rest in the balance should not be too hard a task.
From what I read and hear, many of Us are finding that We are merging Our masculine and Our feminine, Our father and Our mother. (Did someOne mention sex?)
This is the possibility I wish to explore.
When I was pondering the idea of the temple whore, I thought about the temple. The temple is often seen as a place of healing. The Reconnections tell Us that the only healing that is needed is complete awareness:

Usually when We think of healing, We think something is broken. This no longer has to be the case or the way We think. Healing can be expanding, it can be balancing it can be awakening and it can be more. We do not need to judge OurSelves and others as broken, We certainly do not need to FIX anyOne, none of Us are broken. (A bit scratched and pitted maybe)
I also thought about ho'oponopono: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=s0&oq=ho'&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4HPIC_enUS306US212&q=ho%27oponopono
I really like this focus as I strongly believe We are One and that I Am the One I need to focus on. When I change, My world changes. I truly am the center of My uni-verse.
I think it is very important to remember that We do not wish to mandate or even suggest how anyOne else should behave or experience sex. We are here to discuss and share Our experiences and thoughts (in a general way, We don't need ALL the details, pictures are optional)
It takes All of Us to make up infinity. Each of Us is exploring a slightly different aspect/version from the next (and extremely different from those further away in the spectrum). It is important (at least to Me) to accept, respect and honor each person's choices. If there were only One right way, We wouldn't need so many of Us exploring
