Inner Fire.

“Sex” refers to the joining of what was separated long ago: male and female forces, which go far beyond the carnal pleasure. Yet, there are levels and levels of sexual activity, ranging from the simplest forms of sexual union among minerals, plants, and animals, up to the divine sexual acts which create planets, solar systems, and universes. Sex is far more than what modern society thinks it is; in reality, sex is sacred, and a source of incredible, untapped power of nature itself–i.e., divine power of Creation and communion of God itself.

Tantra centers on union with the divine–just think of it as a tool that can bring more intimacy into your life, whether you currently have a partner or not. Because intimacy is not about lust or wild passion, it is about being connected with one’s innermost, with that peace and silence within you; and the opposite of intimacy then is to follow the wild voices of your head and the outbursts of your explosive feelings.

The obsessive voices in your head, the feelings which take you over with desire and passion, even though most ignorant people in society wouldn’t see the truth of it, are not love and intimacy. Human beings can be driven by thoughts and feelings, which is part our nature; but, however, in order to know love and intimacy (the divinity of it) one has to go beyond mind and feel and connect with the ORIGIN of love and intimacy–i.e., one’s Innermost.

And the connection with The Innermost can ONLY come into fruition with the controlling of the sexual energy or sexual nature (sexual desire) running through the human being; because this is forging ourselves into love and intimacy, and penetrating deep into ourselves and knowing ourselves to then know our partner.

“The physical union of a man and a woman, in essence, is a supernatural act, a reminiscence of paradise, the most beautiful of all the hymns of praise dedicated to the Creator by the creature; it is the alpha and the omega of all creation.” ~ Samael Aun Weor.
