Spirituality Of Sex And Why Religions Don't Like It

There are two sides to sex.

There is our biological, animal, instinctive urge that takes us over. Sometimes it takes us to heights of pleasure, sometimes it is a turbulent and torturous ordeal that makes us lose our minds and our consciousness. Indeed, it can drag us out of our place of peace and make us wish it didn't exist. Throughout history, people have abused and even killed each other driven by sexual urges. These urges can destroy families and self-esteem. They can turn us into unconscious bundles of raw desire that can turn destructive. We are afraid of those urges. They offend our humanity. They seem like something totally uncontrollable and unknown, and we feel it is dangerous.

For millenia, religions have fought with this aspect of human being. Trying to show the way to be a better human, they have always done all they could to steer people away from this seemingly dark side of human existence. In some cultures it was controlled violently, through fear and repression. In others, people were gently recommended to channel their energy elsewhere. Today in a more liberal age religions exert moral pressure, treating sexual attraction as something immoral. And even the newer and more commercial spiritual movements often look down on sex as something you'd better stay clear of if you want to grow spiritually. At the very least, they will accept it but usually recommend as doing it as part of spiritual practice, as you would use an old cloth to clean a sink. Even Osho, the great spiritual liberator of sexuality, proposed that the aim of having conscious sex is to eventually grow beyond sex, i.e. to not need it.

There is also another side to sex - it has been explored in the Tantric and Taoist cultures, and it has been spontaneously experienced by many people all over the world when they are in the right state of mind. As humans, we do not have to limit ourselves to the animal urges of sex, we can take that energy and make something much bigger and more positive out of it. Instead of being a slave of this power and running from it, we can treat these energies with respect, get to know them and channel them where they should flow, to the deep union of sharing with our lover. We can harmonise with those energies and then they stop being a threat, they become an incredible life force that brings us nothing but goodness.

Greed, obsession, selfishness, destructiveness, anger, fear, turmoil, suffering that may come up in our sex lives - they all come from our disconnectedness and disrespect of sexual energy. It is the problem with us, not with the energy. By befriending it, its flow turns us to generosity, compassion, love, spiritual growth, inner peace, depth, creativity. Its positive force washes away the dirt in our souls and makes is into better human beings. It beautifies our hearts, creates love and lets us radiate it to others. In a deep sexual union with our other half we reach a state of intense completeness, we feel whole, it is an expereince of the universe. It can be a truly divine state, where we see the design of whichever God we believe in and feel like we can do His will of love. It is the closest we can come to nirvana, to being out there in the state of freedom from our minds. We can feel connected to the whole world. And the pleasure is not just for satsfying our requests - it is the very experience of the beauty and vibrance of life, created by us. Sexual energy is the divine life force that flows through generations of humans, it is the creative drive of our race. Profound sexual connection is one of the most spiritual experiences we can have, giving us a sense of completeness and bridging the divide between us and the beauty of life.

There is nothing in this enlightened dimension of sex that is incompatible with any of the religions. It doesn't propagate promuscuity or sexual gluttony, it just creates greater love between people who are already together, and it brings in more of the divine qualities to them, if the deisre is channelled right not to be tormenting or destructive. Any Muslim, Christian, Jew or Buddhist could walk their spiritual path in greater divinity when nourished by this engine of love, balance and happiness.

However, only the Tantric and Taoist cultures have ever tried to help people to connect with sexual energy in the way that is benefical to personal growth. Most other religions alienated it. Perhaps it was a neccessity in the times when humans needed a simpler instruction and violence was widespread, so no talk of consciousness could work. Perhaps it was an easy way out. But as we grow and evolve, the time is coming for us to reintegrate with it, otherwise it will hold us back. Repression can not eradicate this integral aspect of human being and it simply created persistent conflict. Sexual energy has always busrt out from repression uncomfortably, often as sexual deviation, and it always will as long as it is not befriended.

Sexual energy can be a powerful friend or a powerful enemy. It is our choice to make, but whatever we choose we have to reckon with the fact that this is a major force in a human being and simply ignoring it we won't be able to brush it away.
