The Sacred Side of Sex

"In the final analysis, the highest sexual pleasure attainable is only a shadow of the bliss experienced through sexual energy converted into creative power."

- Charlie Lutes

Everything in nature has a male and a female expression, such as in trees, fruits, flowers, animals, and also humans. In the human it is the feminine or negative side that is passive, but magnetic. It attracts to itself, it absorbs and stores potential energy. The male or positive side is electric or charged. When there is a union between the electric male and the magnetic female, the couple provides a conduit for cosmic force, which flows through them into the earth plane with tremendous power. This power radiated by them, polarizes the surrounding atmosphere. The female at this time is surrounded by a corona of greenish-blue mystic light. There is actually a powerful cosmic force surrounding us at all times that seeks expression through polarization or sexual union. Therefore, because sex invokes a cosmic force it takes on a sacred meaning, as well as providing a vehicle for the incoming soul.

Sex cannot be treated as an exercise in eroticism with an orgasmic overtone. Sex, solely due to the abuse of it, has brought to humans disease, suffering and death. Basically, there is nothing wrong with sex. It is the human misinterpretation and misuse of sex that is wrong. That which is of God and carries a sacred connotation cannot be profaned by humanity. Yet, for millions of people, sex is the only joy in life that they know. However, because the human is a self-contained universe, sex really brings two universes together to produce - by the holy process of reproduction - a third and so on ad infinitum. God, in the process of reproducing himself, merges one part of himself into another in order to bring forth a third; the trinity functioning in a triad world. 

The seeds of immortality exist in and are a part of the human. Again, the main thrust of sex is to bring higher and higher souls into this world, and not to profane sex through lust and bring in lower and lower souls and sow the seeds of destruction in the world, such as we now see; humans wantonly killing one another.

In the man it is the feminine force that is passive and in the woman it is the masculine force that is passive, and before either one can be liberated these forces must be awakened. This is done through the near perfect union of soul to soul, mind to mind and body to body, a true affinity. Thereby, a balance in the female magnetic and the male electric forces is affected. As a result of the merging of the magnetic and electric forces the two combined create an electromagnetic field of force that is all-encompassing. The all-absorbing female force field unites in perfect harmony with the dynamic and kinetic power of the male in a near perfect union.

The energy generated through this male-female union is far greater than anything they can generate separately, because acting together they are able to draw to themselves a great portion of the cosmic energy that exists around them. This in turn sets every atom into a higher vibration. Also at this time, because of the polarization created around them, an impenetrable barrier to every form of evil that might approach or attack them is established.

Because there is a bio-electrical exchange of energy between two partners there is an intensification of sensitivity in the body, mind and soul. The body becomes sensual, the mind becomes more telepathic and the soul intuitional. This is so because the sexual union unlocks normally unused power. The universe itself is one indivisible matrix of cosmic force and this force is always seeking release or expression through a union of its opposite energies. So it seeks release in a couple who become a channel of discharge for this unique force.

Sex between two partners can take them to heaven or it can become hell, it can bestow greater health or it can cause disease and disability. Two right people together in love are one thing, but a wrong couple together is most certainly another thing. That which has the power to create also has the power to destroy. 

Partners must grow in sex the same as they grow in everything else in life. Where one partner fails in this relationship the marriage is on shaky ground. Also, where there is no harmony between two people, sex can cause a mental and physical breakdown in the female. As a couple progresses along in their marriage, sex should move from the more physical to a more sacred and mystical experience of fulfillment. 

Marriages that are based on a physical-sexual relationship only, are usually doomed from the very beginning.

A good healthy sexual relationship throughout the years of marriage keeps each partner stimulated and charged, along with keeping them youthful. However, everything should be kept in balance. If the male is over-sexed he should not continually force his wife into a sexual relationship, because he can overcharge her and cause her to become a nervous wreck and to have violent outbreaks of anger. On the other hand, if the wife is too demanding sexually she can wear the man out and drain the energy from him. Couples should, if possible, sleep together since this is beneficial to both, unless one of them is ill.

As one grows spiritually one slowly moves towards celibacy. This occurs through the process of transcending whereby energy and power is infused from the field of the absolute Being into the physical world, thereby overshadowing the physical side of life. However, this is a long, slow process and not an overnight occurrence.

In humans it is the emotional contact between partners that is the prime factor. There must be an emotional action and reaction between them before any bond is established. One person alone cannot forge such a bond. The other must respond to that emotion before any bond is established. If one person responds to the expression of emotion from another, then a bond is formed. And the continuity of the relationship endures as long as any emotion continues to be exchanged between a couple; and that may be love at first sight or love that grows as the relationship grows.

 Also, karma may dictate the relationship as something from the past that has to be worked out. In this case love may be missing, yet the relationship must be endured, albeit the emotional bond may be a negative one. You might say in a larger sense that it is karma that brings all people together, only some is negative karma instead of positive karma. So in the overall sense, marriages are made in heaven. That is, marriages are agreed upon before we arrive on this earth for this life.

For one partner to decide to become a celibate for one reason or another and then deny the other a sex release is pure cruelty and is not the path to spirituality. As Westerners we are people of action whereas Easterners are more passive people. Therefore, what may be natural for them can be cruel to us. It is true that on the road to spirituality one becomes celibate, but for most people that is a long way off. For most people, celibacy is simply a case of mood making. Generally speaking, when one becomes celibate there is no consideration of sex. Also, their karma will indicate if it is right. Marriage should never become a burden, but should always be one of mutual consideration, kindness and love. One great mistake so many make is seeking love through sex. This doesn't work because sex is a natural extension of love that already exists.

In the final analysis, the highest sexual pleasure attainable is only a shadow of the bliss experienced through sexual energy converted into creative power. This is the real resurrection from death of the flesh to eternal life. Sexual energy is the link between the material world and the spiritual. It helps the human spirit to be born into a material body. Later on it helps the human in his efforts to grow spiritually by using sexual energy as the means to stimulate and raise his consciousness to divine cosmic awareness.
