Another woman's view: What I Love and Hate about Tantra and Sacred Sex

What I Love and Hate about Tantra and Sacred Sex: Have you ever experienced the kind of relationship that, years after it’s ended, you look back and think, “how is it possible ...

This post (see link above) is a very honest portrayal of what happens during the Spiritual journey.

Everyone's journey is expressed differently through different passages and avenues. We all go through a kind of right or ritual when a part of ourselves needs to manifest. Each passage is different in how it is expressed and the intensity with which it is expressed. Some of us do not even feel that there is a need at all. Or worse, we are not directed correctly by the people we trust - hopefully eventually, most of us who are seeking can find the way on our own...

In this case, this woman's psyche led her in a Tantric/Sacred Sexual direction - just because of what her organism at that moment in time needed. This was her right of passage that she believed would end the emptiness, and the fear.

After going along this journey fully and completely in full surrender, I would imagine she need not visit this particular part of herself again. On the other hand, like it is with the spiritual process - this experience may just be the tip of the iceberg and there may be things yet to uncover... I don't know.

This woman like so many of us pursued a particular path in order to find what she thought she lacked and in the end came to the same conclusion which is offered at the outset of any spiritual teaching - "...that which I seek was within me all along." It doesn't matter who you are and what you believe or what you are told - we all have to go through the 'fire' in order to heal, to become conscious and whole. We must experience whatever it is we need to in order to live fully and develop deeply. It doesn't matter what anyone tells you or what you understand intellectually, living our lives fully means to dive into parts of ourselves by doing things, experiencing what might seem risky, shameful or embarrassing. This passage this woman took is like many passages we all take in our lives over and over again. I'm sure if she thought back on it - this wasn't the first time she's encountered something like this and... it won't be her last.

This is how we unfold!

Peace!
