Buddha: Sex and the Middle Path

ON seeing their old teacher approach, the five bhikkus agreed among themselves not to salute him, nor to address him as a master, but by his name only. "For," so they said, "he has broken his vow and has abandoned holiness. He is no bhikkhu, but Gotama, and Gotama has become a man who lives in abundance and indulges in the pleasures of worldliness." But when the Blessed One approached in a dignified manner, they involuntarily rose from their seats and greeted him in spite of their resolution. Still they called him by his name and addressed him as "friend Gotama." When they had thus received the Blessed One, he said: "Do not call the Tathagata by his name nor address him as 'friend,' for he is the Buddha, the Holy One. The Buddha looks with a kind heart equally on all living beings, and they therefore call him 'Father.' To disrespect...

Ching

(Chinese, alternately jing, tsing, etc). Literally, "sexual energy." There are three life forces: physical sexual matter (ching-ye) energetic sexual matter (ching chi) consciousness (ching-shen) These three are mutually interdependent and interconnected. According to Chinese medicine, ching is the basis of life and health. If there is little ching (life force) then health suffers and life is shortened. This is the basis for sexual continence or retention of the sexual matter. In Taoist alchemy, this understanding is extended by simple logic as the basis for immortality. In engaging the enemy a man should regard her as so much tiles or stone and himself as gold or jade. When his ching is aroused, he should immediately withdraw from her territory. One should mount a woman as if riding a galloping horse with rotten reins or a...

John 2: His First Miracle is Sexual

Here the New Testament records the very first miracle performed by Jesus: at a wedding between a man and a woman. Clearly, this emphasizes that marriage is the beginning of the real Christian teaching. John 2 1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6...

John 4: Jesus at the Well

Water plays a very significant role throughout the New Testament and is a major symbol within the Christic Doctrine, as it is in every other religion. Jesus was baptized by water, transformed water into wine, walked upon the water, and most significantly, taught that the only way to enter into the kingdom of Heaven is to be born again of water and Spirit. When analyzed in the light of Kabbalah and with knowledge of all the world's religions, it become easy to see that the water - which is ubiquitous in all creation myths - is none other than the waters from which life emerges: the waters of sex. John 4 5 Then cometh he [Jesus] to a city of Samaria, which is ...

Samael Aun Weor: Love

God as Father is wisdom. God as Mother is love. As Father, God resides within the Eye of Wisdom. The Eye of Wisdom is located between the eyebrows. As love, God is found within the Heart-temple. Wisdom and love are the two basal pillars of the great White Lodge. To love, how beautiful it is to love. Only the great souls can and know how to love. Love is infinite tenderness... Love is the life that beats in every atom as it beats in every sun. Love cannot be defined because it is the Divine Mother of the world; it is that which comes to us when we really fall in love. Love is felt within the depths of the heart; it is a delectable experience; it is a consuming fire; it is divine wine, a delight to those who drink it. A simple perfumed handkerchief, a letter, a flower, give rise to great inner uneasiness, exotic ecstasy, and ineffable voluptuousness within the depths of the soul. No one has been able to define love; it has to be lived, it has to be felt....

Samael Aun Weor: Normal Sexuality

We understand people of normal sexuality to be those who have no sexual conflicts of any kind. Sexual energy is divided into three distinct types. First: the energy having to do with the reproduction of the race and the health of the physical body in general. Second: the energy having to do with the spheres of thought, feeling and will. Third: the energy that is found related with the Divine Spirit of man. Indeed, sexual energy is without a doubt the most subtle and powerful energy normally produced and transported through the human organism. Everything that a human being is, including the three spheres of thought, feeling and will, is none other than the exact outcome of distinct modifications of sexual energy. The control and storage of sexual energy is certainly difficult due to the tremendously subtle and powerful Nature of this energy. In addition, its presence represents a source of immense power that can result in a true catastrophe if one does not know how to handle...

Sex and Teenagers

The moment to abandon in a definitive manner the false shame and prejudices related to the sexual issue has arrived. Yes, it is necessary to comprehend in a clear and precise manner the sexual problems of the adolescents of both sexes.The sexual energy appears and flows in an overwhelming manner through the neurosympathetic system of the adolescent organism at about fourteen years of age; here, this special type of energy transforms the human organism by modifying the voice in the male and originating the ovarian function in the female.The human organism—as an authentic factory—transforms dense or crude elements into refined vital substances. The foods that we ingest into our stomach pass through multiple transformations and refinements, culminating in...
