We are all obsessed with sex – especially those who claim to be against it. Why?

Sex is a blissful escape from ego that delivers us to a euphoric state where there is no “I”, no judgment or guilt, no “my problems” or “my life situation”.

Sex is timelessness. In sex, there is no awareness of time. We become fully present, with no past and no future.

Sex is perfect union. The removal of all boundaries, all separateness. Sex is two becoming one.

Sex is creation. It is the energy from which we were all conceived. The moment of fertilization instantly unleashes 70, 80, 90 years of creativity. It is sex that has created the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Gandhi, Eckhart Tolle.

Sex is divine. Everything humans have created is first born of sex. Sexual desire is the energy of new life and love is the energy that sustains that life.

Through sex, men and women are able to transcend ego, to rise above the challenges of life on earth, to touch the divine. But not quite, because it is a state that only lasts for a few moments. Sex provides us with only a glimpse, a temporary portal to heaven.

Make friends with sex. Nothing is more natural, so enjoy it fully – but then learn to transcend the impermanence of sexual bliss or it will become an addiction. Move toward a more permanent, divine state beyond sex. Spiritual awakening is learning to exist permanently in this state of no ego, no time, union and creativity. We continue tomorrow and each day after that.
