Geld, Sex, Macht und Tod gelten im menschlichen Zusammenleben als Tabus. Übersetzt spricht dieser Begriff vom Heiligen und zugleich vom Verbotenen. Diese Themen sind im Kollektivbewusstsein mit Scham [BW 20], Schuld [BW 30] und Angst [BW 100] behaftet; doch auf einem spirituellen Weg sind sie wichtige Lernaufgaben, an denen ein Mensch die Gelegenheit hat zu wachsen. Diese Prüfsteine auf unterschiedlichen Stationen des Weges weisen den spirituellen Aspiranten besonders klar und deutlich auf ihre Schatten hin und bringt sie ans Licht.

Die drei evangelischen Räte

Die so genannten drei evangelischen Räte sind Gelübde

der Armut,
der Keuschheit und
des Gehorsams von zölibatär lebenden Mönchen und Nonnen [früherer Jahrhunderte], die ihr Leben dem Geist geweiht hatten. Sie dienten als ein Mittel, um ihren Ego-Impulsen entgegen zu steuern.
Diesen Weg zur Umgehung 'heißer Eisen' wählte auch der indische hinduistische Heilige Ramakrishna (BW 620). Er nahm nur junge Männer als Schüler an, die ein armes und keusches Leben zu führen hatten. Ramakrishna war strikt gegen den Umgang mit Geld und die Ausübung von Sex. Er grenzte die belasteten Themen einfach aus.

Hawkins, in zweiter Ehe verheiratet, ehemals gut verdienender Leiter der größten psychiatrischen Praxis in USA und nach Weisung des Geistes zeitweise Dungbaron und Einsiedler kommentierte dazu, dass ein wahrhaft spirituell Lebender sich heutzutage auch dem ausgewogenen Umgang mit Geld und Sexualität widmet, statt diese Themen auszublenden oder zu negieren.

Die radikale Wahrheits-Übung

In seinem 2-stündigen Vortrag zum Thema Sexualität und Sexsucht, aufgenommen 1986, erläutert Hawkins die radikale Wahrheits-Übung, die er generell als Antwort auf Suchtverhalten, Krankheit und Schmerzen empfiehlt.

Höre auf, über deine Empfindungen (deinen Drang) zu grübeln (mentieren) und sie mit Namen (Diagnosen, Urteilen) zu versehen.

Leiste deinen Empfindungen keinen Widerstand mehr. Und erlaube, dass sie über ihr örtliches Vorhandensein hinauswachsen und sich in deiner Aura verteilen.

Übe dich in der Haltung Mögen noch mehr von diesen Empfindungen auftauchen.

Nimm sie ganz an und erlaube, dass sie sich im Prozess der Übergabe vollständig auflösen.

Die 4 Schritte zur Loslösung von Notstandsgefühlen im nichtintegeren Bereich lassen sich beispielsweise anwenden

bei sexueller Begierde, Hungergefühlen oder Verlangen sonstiger Art, bei aufkommden Krankheiten und Schmerzen (wie bspw. auch bei Operationen ohne Narkose)
bei Schuld- und Schamgefühlen und Angst wegen des Verlangens,
bei Stolz, nachdem man seiner Begierde nachgegeben hat und kurzfristige Befriedigung dadurch spürte
und bei weiteren illusionären Gefühlszuständen.

Wer loslässt, wächst über seine wollüstigen Begierden und Gefühle der Scham, Schuld, Angst, Wut und des Stolzes hinaus und erreicht einen gelassenen, nicht verhafteten Zustand, in dem er gleichermaßen in Frieden ist, ob nun das Verlangen vorhanden ist oder nicht, ob es auftaucht oder verschwindet. Der Gelöste betrachtet sein Verlangen aus der Haltung der Harmlosigkeit und weiß, wann es angemessen ist und wie es angemessen zu befriedigen ist.

Um eine BW-Stufe hinter sich lassen zu können,
muss man sie sich in Gänze zu eigen gemacht haben.

Beschleunigen: Die Haltung, dass die anstehenden Schatten-Empfindungen noch stärker auftauchen mögen, ist eine beschleunigte Form, '100 Prozent Verantwortung zu übernehmen' für das, was da ist. Man anerkennt seine Empfindungen vollständig und führt sie nicht (mehr) aus. Die Vorstellung, dass das Verlangen endlos sei, gibt man ebenfalls auf. Es stellt sich heraus, dass es im Prozess der Übergabe austrocknet und irgendwann einfach aufhört.

Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

Personal avowals

Seduction [...] so many of the gurus you read on the Internet today fall for seduction. And I warn people, when you get in the high 500s you emanate an energy field of love that is entrancing to people. They fall in love with you. Back east one week I remember seven different women came up and asked to go to bed. "I know this is going to sound strange that we haven't even met yet, but I [...]". Over and over again. It's not love. So they misinterpret spiritual love, the energy field, as personal love. Also because of the attraction, power over others. To exploit others, usually monetarily. Power over others, specialness, [...] exploitation of people, teachers who try to tell you what to do, your sex life, your marriage, this kind of thing. It becomes an inflated egotism. And a truly enlightened being has no interest in controlling anyone or anything, [...] much less your sex life. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 10. January 2007

The temptation, the weakness of the 500s, is love-and-seduction. Source unknown

Throughout history and up to current time, there have been a number of well known „gurus“ who became addicted to sex, power and money, and who covered up their actions with clever rationalizations. Those who exhibit wealth, a veneer of spiritual trappings, and who approve of sexual acting out attract many followers.Source unknown

Question: Sex and money are the temptations that are emphasized by many spiritual groups as the traps to be avoided?
Answer: That tradition has value but also ambigous results. First, it creates an aversion and a sense of sin or guilt about the issues. It also inflates their importance, thereby creating a fear. It is not sex and money that are the problems but the attachments to them. In the nonattached state, there is neither attraction nor aversion. Teachers such as Ramakrishna forbade both sex and money to his young male students. He held that they could be contaminated by even just the energy of sex or money. Inasmuch as greed and desire calibrate below 200 [125], avoidance was an attempt to forestall attachment. However, the desire for sex or money stems from within and can remain within the ego, even though it is not indulged or acted upon. At beginning levels of spiritual training, avoidance may well be the best course, because desires are so strong. The mere willingness to sacrifice sensual pleasure or wordly gain is already of value in learning how to transcend attractions and instinctual drives, and the intensity of spiritual commitment is enhanced. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 239

Junges Mädchen, das sich gegen Eros Pfeil wehrt
Maler: William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1880

Whether to eat meat or have sex or work for money are all classic life koans (puzzles, paradoxes) which present themselves to the spiritual initiate. They are valuable because they unearth numerous belief systems for examination. They involve looking at meaning, significance, values, propositions, and attachments. It is rewarding to give up the attachment to the glamour of "being spiritual", "holy", or "special". I. Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 22, S. ?

There's enough unconscious as well as conscious sexual guilt to give everybody a case of herpes, right? I mean, who doesn’t walk around in this Protestant ethic without all kinds of sexual guilt?

I noticed that the skin, and that one's energy – overall available energy, one's libido, one's erotic interest in life – is more than sex.

Question: My ego is going through turmoil. Some attachments are difficult to work with. I have been trying to let them go, but it is hard.
Answer: Look to see, if there are building blocks below. What are your attachments?
Reply: Sexual pleasure.
Answer: Sensual attachments are very common and hard to overcome. Try to be without and you will find that you don't need it. Be with the cravingness. For example you can go without food for days. Live it (the attachments) out. They will burn out. You are really addicted to sensory pleasure. Letting go of it will teach you that there are no sensory needs. These are animal instincts. You can be happy living in a box with only an apple to eat. What you need karmically will be provided. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 8. November 2006

Women are more non-linear than men! That should increase compatibility of the sexes. [K-tested as true.] Sedona Seminar Is the Miraculous Real?, 9. December 2006

Many years withheld question on homosexuality

Answer: I view homosexuality as biologic and gentle. When it creates a dilemma it utilizes all of one's psychological and spiritual understandings to try to understand what it is. [Homosexuality] is no more of a bond than heterosexuality, which is an addiction.
What you try to do is: Let go the addiction part of sexuality. So that you are not run by it and reach a platonic state. To me that's ideal.
The fulfillment of that potential / pathway is unconditional platonic love. So that you almost get to the point that you would die for them [the loved one] out of an intense spiritual love. […] You turn it to a pathway. Addiction serves as a pathway, a fast way to God. […] You either get it or die. Golden Word Book Signing, Q&A during book signing hour, Sedona, disc 2 of 3, track 5, minute 1:20-4:30, 13. January 2007

Sex addiction

One thing a sex addiction does to our character is deprive men of their power. Many addictive behaviors are an attempt to regain personal power, and this is especially so with sexual addictions. A man can escape their feelings of powerless by masturbating to fantasy or porn or they can pursue validation from a woman by achieving sex with her. These acts fall short of truly empowering yourself as a man. If this behavior goes unchecked, a man can have serious problems asserting his genuine needs to a woman and will remain unfulfilled in gaining true intimacy. Self-doubt, weakness, and depression can take over a man's character and render him incompetent in meeting the demands of life and any fulfilling relationship. By giving our addictions so much power, we are throwing our power away to women at every step. This is unnatural for a man to do as a man, by nature, is a leader and protector. A woman does not want to see a groveling worm with no self control and a wishy washy nature. They require that a man have a strong core. If a woman is attracted to a worm, she is sick, and she will undoubtedly reinforce 'wormy' behaviors in him, which he will more than willingly do for the sake of meeting his sexual desires.
As long as we stay active in our sexual addictions, we will remain emotional children in men's bodies and never experience the feeling of living up to our adult nature. It's a form of emotional retardation and can only produce depression as we are not living according to our nature and not exercising our true talents and capacities. Sedona Seminar What is Real?, source: Recovery and Withdrawal, 16. June 2007

Masturbation is not that big of a problem as it's not really hurting anyone. It's been demonized and people used to say it caused mental illness. Attachment and lust can be blocks to higher states. [paraphrased] Sedona Seminar The Human Dilemma, 18. August 2007

Wisst ihr nicht: Wer der Hure anhängt, ist ein Leib [mit ihr]? Denn "es werden“, heißt es, "die zwei ein Fleisch sein.“ Wer aber dem Herrn anhängt, der ist ein Geist [mit ihm]. Flieht die Unzucht! Jede Sünde, die ein Mensch begeht, ist außerhalb des Leibes. Wer aber Unzucht treibt, sündigt gegen seinen eigenen Leib. Apostel Paulus, 1. Korinther 6, 16-18 (NT)

Der Körper des Mannes gehört der Frau, der Körper der Frau gehört dem Mann. "Paarregel" nach Hildegard von Bingen (um 1200)

Häufig wird die Exklusivität der erotischen Liebe mit dem Wunsch verwechselt, vom anderen Besitz zu ergreifen. Man findet oft zwei "Verliebte", die niemanden sonst lieben. Ihre Liebe ist dann in Wirklichkeit ein Egoismus zu zweit; es handelt sich dann um zwei Menschen, die sich miteinander identifizieren und die das Problem des Getrenntseins so lösen, dass sie das Alleinsein auf zwei Personen erweitern. Erich Fromm, Die Kunst des Liebens

Die Objektwahl des geschlechtsreifen Individuums wird auf das gegenteilige Geschlecht eingeengt, die meisten außergenitalen Befriedigungen als Perversionen untersagt. Die in diesen Verboten kundgegebene Forderung eines für alle gleichwertigen Sexuallebens setzt sich über die Ungleichheiten in der angeborenen und erworbenen Sexualkonstitution der Menschen hinaus, schneidet eine ziemliche Anzahl von ihnen vom Sexualgenuss ab und wird so die Quelle schwerer Ungerechtigkeit. Sigmund Freud

Wirkliche Erotik kann nur wachsen zwischen Gleichen und nicht zwischen Ungleichen. Alice Schwarzer, Und ewig zittere das Weib (Artikel) und Alice im Männerland. Eine Zwischenbilanz, Buch Kiepenheuer & Witsch, 2002

Sex, Geld und Tod sind die größten Tabus in unserer heutigen Zeit. Bernard Lietaer, ehemaliger Zentralbankier und professioneller Währungsspekulant, Ökonom, Visionär

Begehre, wen du willst, aber vergewissere dich immer, dass die Entscheidung deine eigene ist. Wirklich frei sind wir erst, wenn wir unser Leben und unsere Sexualität nicht von Zeiterscheinungen diktieren lassen. Jean-Claude Guillebaud

Es gibt keine gute Sexualität, keine endgültige, beruhigende, revolutionäre Lösung in der Liebe. Pascal Brucker, Alain Finkelkraut, Die neue Liebesunordnung, Hanser Verlag, S. 55

Das Verhältnis der Geschlechter ist der unsichtbare Mittelpunkt aller Handlungen. Arthur Schopenhauer, Metaphysik der Geschlechtsliebe

Für mich ist der Körper der Tempel der Seele und Sex ein Geschenk Gottes. Der Moment, in dem wir einen Orgasmus haben, ist dem der religiösen Ekstase ähnlich. Paulo Coelho

Liebe und Sex gesunder Menschen ist, obwohl sie häufig Gipfel großer Ekstase erreichen, nichtsdestoweniger auch den Spielen von Kindern und jungen Tieren vergleichbar. Sie sind fröhlich, humorvoll und verspielt. Abraham H. Maslow, Motivation und Persönlichkeit, S. 228, Rowohlt Verlag, Reinbek bei Hamburg, 2002

Nun beweisen gerade Menschen mit Sexualangst, die sie nicht durch Abstumpfung und Flucht nach vorne überspielen können, dass sie die geschlechtliche Hingabe als ein ganzheitliches, leib-seelisches Sich-füreinander-Öffnen und In-sich-Eindringen betrachten, sonst hätten sie ebensowenig Angst vor der Sexualität wie vor dem Essen und Trinken als bloßer Bedürfnisbefriedigung. Ohne es zu wissen, haben sie also die richtige Auffassung von der Sexualität und beweisen gerade durch ihre Angst eine größere Begabung zur Liebe als andere, die diese Angst nie wahrgenommen haben. Sie sehen nicht nur die erotische Hingabe richtiger, sondern auch die damit verbundenen Schwierigkeiten. Sie überspielen diese Schwierigkeiten nicht in einer abgespaltenen, einseitig auf körperliche Spannung und Entspannung ausgerichteten Sexualität, sondern müssen nun beginnen, sich in den vielfältigen Formen der Hingabe an das Du zu üben, unter anderem auch in der Sexualität. Peter Schellenbaum (*1939) Schweizer Psychoanalytiker, Sachbuchautor, Das Nein in der Liebe. Abgrenzung und Hingabe in der erotischen Beziehung, Kreuz Verlag, Stuttgart, 5. Auflage, August 1992. S. 98, Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, 1. Februar 1993

Tiefgreifende Veränderungen anzustreben, heißt, Lösungen zu suchen, die verletzlich machen – und genau das lehnen die meisten Menschen ab. […] Paradoxerweise wirkt genau das, was scheinbar zu nichts führt. […] Die Ermutigung, sich anderen Menschen gegenüber verletzlich zu zeigen, bietet einen Ausweg aus der Scham. Patrick Carnes, Minneapolis, Wenn Sex zur Sucht wird, S. 254, Kösel-Verlag, 1992

Scham und Heimlichkeit waren mitverantwortlich für die Entstehung der Sexsucht und Scham und Heimlichkeit (Sicherheit in der Anonymität) und behindern auch ihre Überwindung. Patrick Carnes, Minneapolis, Wenn Sex zur Sucht wird, S. 431, Kösel-Verlag, 1992

Wir müssen den Kindesmissbrauch und die Ausbeutung verletzlicher Erwachsener offen benennen. Patrick Carnes, Minneapolis, Wenn Sex zur Sucht wird, Kösel-Verlag, 1992, S. 435

Sigmund Freud hatte 1896 frühzeitig erkannt, dass zahlreiche Kinder, in erster Linie Mädchen von Familienangehörigen und hier hauptsächlich von ihren Vätern sexuell missbraucht wurden. Diese Entdeckung war hochexplosiv und mochten seine FachkollegInnen nicht akzeptieren, so dass Freud geschnitten und isoliert wurde. Als S. Freud seine «irrtümliche» Auffassung aufgegeben hatte, bekam er wieder Zugang zur medizinischen Fachwelt, von der er zuvor geschnitten worden war. Freud widerrief 1905 öffentlich die Verführungstheorie (d.h. sexueller Kindesmissbrauch), und schon 1908 hatten sich ihm angesehene Ärzte angeschlossen: Paul Federn, Isidor Sadger, Sandor Ferenczi, Max Eitington, Carl Gustav Jung, Ludwig Binswanger, Karl Abraham, Abraham Brill und Ernest Jones. Psychoanalytiker waren nicht besonders interessiert an Freuds Motiven seines Gesinnungswandel, auch wenn sie mit ihm überzeugt waren und sind, dass die Psychoanalyse sich nur in der Absage an die «Verführungstheorie» entwickeln konnte. Der Widerruf der Missbrauchstheorie ("Verführungstheorie") durch Sigmund Freud, Rudolf Sponsel, Erlangen über die Forschungsergebnisse von Jeffrey M. Massons

Wie die meisten Psychiater habe ich geglaubt, dass niemand seine homosexuelle Orientierung verändern kann. Ich habe nun erkannt, dass dies falsch ist. Hochmotivierte Homosexuelle können heterosexuell werden! Robert L. Spitzer, Professor für Psychiatrie, USA

Sexueller Missbrauch von Kindern ist eine sexuelle Handlung eines Menschen an einem Kind, wobei der Erwachsene seine eigenen Bedürfnisse nach Intimität, Nähe, Macht und Kontrolle auf Kosten des Kindes auszuleben sucht. Sigroi 1982

Einsamkeit und das öffentliche Eingeständnis von Einsamkeit ist das größte Tabuthema der Welt. Vergiss Sex oder Politik oder Religion. Ja sogar Niederlagen. Sprich von Einsamkeit und du bist allein im Raum. Douglas Coupland, Miss Wyoming
Frauen messen die Qualität der Partnerschaft daran, ob sie mit ihrem Partner über alles sprechen können, für Männer hingegen ist Spaß und Sex erstrangig. Manfred Hassebrauck, Professor für Sozialpsychologe, Universität Wuppertal

Sex mit Liebe ist das Größte, aber Sex ohne Liebe ist auch nicht schlecht. Mae West, US-Schauspielerin

Eine Frau, die sich auf eine neue Beziehung einlässt, erwartet Romantik und Liebe, Sex ist für sie nur eine Folgeerscheinung. Bei Männern dagegen beginnt eine Beziehung häufig mit Sex, und erst danach entscheiden sie, ob daraus eine Beziehung werden kann oder nicht. Allan und Barbara Pease, Warum Männer nicht zuhören und Frauen schlecht einparken?, Erstbestseller, S. 363, München, 2000

Meine Einwilligung, in eine geheime sexuelle Beziehung einzutreten, basierte vor allem auf der Verpflichtung zu Hingabe und Gehorsam, die für alle, die in der nächsten Umgebung des Lamas lebten, von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Ausserdem machte die Forderung, den Lama als göttlich anzusehen, es mir praktisch unmöglich, sein Urteilsvermögen bezüglich aller Fragen, die meine eigene spirituelle Entwicklung betrafen, anzuzweifeln.

Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen

(Or) do you not know that anyone who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For "the two," it says, "will become one flesh." But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body. Apostle Paul, 1. Corinthians 6, 16-18 (NT)

There is more to sex than mere skin to skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The Two Shall Become One.” […] We must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever – the kind of sex that can never “become one.” There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another. Eugene Peterson, paraphrasing the NT, Apostle Paul, 1. Corinthians 6, 16-18, The Message. The Bible in Contemporary Language

Quoted from "Into the Realm of Bliss and Wholeness''' by Marnia Robinson, 11. May 2005

Although most people spend their entire lives following the biological impulse, it is only a tiny portion of our beings. If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
If you wish to unite with her heart and mind, you must integrate yin and yang within and refine their fire upward. Then you have the power to merge with the whole being of the Mysterious Mother. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 65, translated by Brian Walker

Three types of integration
1. The first integration of yin and yang is the union of seed and egg within the womb.
2. The second integration of yin and yang is the sexual union of the mature male and female.
  Both of these are concerned with flesh and blood, and all that is conceived in this realm must one day disintegrate and pass away.
3. It is only the third integration which gives birth to something immortal.
  In this integration, a highly evolved individual joins the subtle inner energies of yin and yang under the light of spiritual understanding. Through the practices of the Integral Way he refines his gross, heavy energy into something ethereal and light. This divine light has the capability of penetrating into the mighty ocean of spiritual energy and complete wisdom that is the Tao. The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 66, translated by Brian Walker

Because higher and higher unions of yin and yang are necessary for the conception of higher life, some students may be instructed in the art of dual cultivation, in which yin and yang are directly integrated in the tai chi of sexual intercourse. […] If genuine virtue and true mastery come together […] the practice can bring about a profound balancing of the student's gross and subtle energies [otherwise it can have a destructive effect]. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 67, translated by Brian Walker

A person's approach to sexuality is a sign of his level of evolution. Unevolved persons practice ordinary sexual intercourse. Placing all emphasis upon the sexual organs, they neglect the body's other organs and systems. Whatever physical energy is accumulated is summarily discharged, and the subtle energies are similarly dissipated and disordered.
Where ordinary intercourse is effortful, angelic cultivation is calm, relaxed, quiet, and natural.
Where ordinary intercourse unites sex organs with sex organs, angelic cultivation unites spirit with spirit, mind with mind, and every cell of one body with every cell of the other body. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 69, translated by Brian Walker

Culminating not in dissolution but in integration, it is an opportunity for a man and woman to mutually transform and uplift each other into the realm of bliss and wholeness. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 69, translated by Brian Walker

The cords of passion and desire weave a binding net around you. […] The trap of duality is tenacious. Bound, rigid, and trapped, you cannot experience liberation. Through dual cultivation [careful sexual intercourse] it is possible to unravel the net, soften the rigidity, dismantle the trap. Dissolving your yin energy into the source of universal life, attracting the yang energy from that same source, you leave behind individuality and your life becomes pure nature. Free of ego, living naturally, working virtuously, you become filled with inexhaustible vitality and are liberated forever from the cycle of death and rebirth. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 70, translated by Brian Walker

Understand this if nothing else: spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 65, translated by Brian Walker

We display outrageously and obsessively that which we do not fully possess or have deeply at our disposal. If we are displaying sex with unseemly exaggeration and preoccupation, then we have not found the heart of sex and made it a fully integrated part of individual and social life. Sigmund Freud

When men first meet a person, their deepest internal instinct is fuck it or kill it. [paraphrased] Ken Wilber, Sexuality, Ecology, Spirituality

The act of sexuality between humans, who have stabilized to some degree in that realization, is simply the bodily re-enactment of the eternal recognized unity of consciousness and light. There is not actually consciousness and light; it is conscious light, a luminous cognizance. David Deida, cited in The Translucent Revolution, Arjuna Ardagh

Men and women practicing Karezza [gentle, conscious lovemaking without conventional orgasm] attest that their very souls in union take on a procreating power, and that it seems to have an impregnating force, far transcending in power and intelligence any ordinary thought force.

We need more sex, not less, but we need sex with soul. Thomas Moore, The Soul of Sex, Bantam Books Ltd., 4. August 2003

'Sex is very close to soul. […] [It only satisfies] when it unites souls, not merely copulates bodies for a thrill. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method. Magnetation, The Art of Connubial Love'', Forgotten Books, first published 1931, reprinted 7. May 2008

As you acquire the habit of giving your sexual electricity out in blessing to your partner from your sex-organs, hands, lips, skin, eyes and voice, you will acquire the power to satisfy yourself and her without an orgasm. Soon you will not even think of self-control, because you will have no desire for the orgasm, nor will she. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method. Magnetation, The Art of Connubial Love, pg. 31, Forgotten Books, first published 1931, reprinted 7. May 2008

Karezza makes marriage more delicious than courtship, more romantic than wooing, and maintains an endless, satisfying honeymoon. […] Nothing else known makes the course of true love run so smooth as Karezza. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method. Magnetation, The Art of Connubial Love, Forgotten Books, first published 1931, reprinted 7. May 2008

Two souls and bodies seem as one, supported and floating on some divine stream in Paradise. […] This is the real ideal and end of Karezza. You will finally enter into such unity that in your fullest embrace you can hardly tell yourselves apart and can read each other’s thoughts. You will feel a physical unity as if her blood flowed in your veins, her flesh were yours. For this is the Soul-Blending Embrace. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method. Magnetation, The Art of Connubial Love, pg. 48, 32, Forgotten Books, first published 1931, reprinted 7. May 2008

In successful Karezza the sex-organs become quiet, satisfied, demagnetized, as perfectly as by the orgasm, while the rest of the body of each partner glows with a wonderful vigor and conscious joy […] tending to irradiate the whole being with romantic love; and always with an after-feeling of health, purity and well-being. We are most happy and good-humored as after a full meal. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method. Magnetation, The Art of Connubial Love, pg. 13, Forgotten Books, first published 1931, reprinted 7. May 2008

Hangover after orgasm (esp. for men)

It is the common experience that there is a sense of loss, weakness, and dispelled illusion, following quickly on the first grateful feeling of relief. There has been a momentary joy, but too brief and epileptic to make much impression on consciousness, and now it is gone, leaving no memory. The lights have gone out, the music has stopped. The weakness is often so severe as to cause pallor, faintness, vertigo [dizziness], dyspepsia [indigestion], disgust, irritability, shame, dislike, or other pathological or unloving symptoms. This especially on the man’s part, but perhaps to some extent on the woman’s part too. Even if no more, there is lassitude, sudden indifference, a wish to sleep. A wet blanket has fallen, for the time at least, on the flame of love. Romance drops and crawls like a winged bird. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method.

- The wine of sex may sometimes go to the head and lead to a preoccupation with sex bordering on satyriasis or nymphomania, just as any other passion may become an emotional intoxication. He notes that love and the thrill of sex are delightful, but if continued too long the inevitable result is that the nerves become powerless to appreciate or respond. […] and finally may end by devitalizing love and sex themselves. J. William Lloyd, The Karezza Method. Magnetation, The Art of Connubial Love, Forgotten Books, first published 1931, reprinted 7.

Men have been programmed by society not to be intimate.
What do men want from women? – Sex.
What do women want from men? – Security and Money.
What kind of relationship does that make? – Prostitution.
We [men] lie a lot. [...] We are gonna fake it. [...] Truthfully what we [men] want is the same that you [women] want. Men are women turned inside out. We are. Audio interview with Dr. Stan Dale (1929-2007) sex, love and intimacy expert, founder of Human Awareness Institute on Intimacy [i.e. "into me you see"], May 1993

I encourage couples to forget about technique, and "follow the connection" during sex to know what to do next. We also suggest hugging 'til relaxed, eyes open sex, and even eyes open orgasm. […] In informal surveys I've conducted around the world, it seems that only about 15-30% of all couples have sex with their eyes open, and only about half that number can orgasm that way. This means that most people have to shut their eyes to "tune out" their partner in order to be able to orgasm. Many people like sex in the dark with eyes closed because it's a way of keeping intimacy during sex to a tolerable level, not because it's more romantic. The intimacy and passion many couples seek is hiding right under – or actually right above – their noses.

Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen – Movie: My Dinner with Andre, 1981

ANDRÉ GREGORY: In the sexual act there's that moment of complete forgetting which is so incredible, and in the next moment you start to think about things – work on the play, what you've got to do tomorrow. [...] I think it must be quite common. The world comes in quite fast. Now, that may be because we don't have the courage to stay in that place of forgetting, because that is again close to death. Like people who are afraid to go to sleep. In other words, you interrelate, and you don't know what the next moment will bring. And to not know what the next moment will bring, I think, brings you closer to a perception of death. So that, paradoxically, the closer you get to living, in the sense of relating constantly, I guess the closer you get to this thing that we're most afraid of.

ANDRÉ GREGORY: I think that's why people have affairs. [...] It's a good feeling. But then that feeling goes very quickly. [...] Well, have an affair and up to a certain point you can really feel you're on firm ground. There is a sexual conquest to be made. There are different questions: does she enjoy the ears being nibbled? How intensely can you talk about Schopenhauer at an elegant French restaurant, or whatever nonsense it is. It's all I think to give you the semblance that there's firm earth. But have a real relationship with a person that goes on for years – well, that's completely unpredictable. Then, you've cut off all your ties to the land, and you're sailing into the unknown, into uncharted seas.

Brain Sex.The Real Difference Between Men and Women – Anne Moir, David Jessel

On the biology of gender, the biological differences between men and women
><(((°> <°)))><

Chapter One: The differences

The truth is that virtually every professional scientist and researcher into the subject has concluded that the brains of men and women are different. There has seldom been a greater divide between what intelligent, enlightened opinion presumes — that men and women have the same brain — and what science knows — that they do not.

Chapter Two: The birth of difference

It is not until six or seven weeks after conception that the unborn baby 'makes up its mind', and the brain begins to take on a male or a female pattern. What happens at that critical stage in the darkness of the womb, will determine the structure and organisation of the brain: and that, in turn, will decide the very nature of the mind. It is [...] a story largely unknown, but now, at last, beginning to unfold in its entirety.

Chapter Three: Sex in the brain

What we are, how we behave, how we think and feel, is governed not by the heart, but by the brain. The brain itself is influenced, in structure and operation, by the hormones. If brain structure and hormones are different in men and women, it should not surprise us that men and women behave in different ways. Understanding the exact relationship between brain structure, hormones and behaviour would take us a long way to discovering the answer to some of humanity's most exasperating riddles.

Chapter Four: Childhood differences

Each sex has a mind of its own at birth. Innate differences in brain structure mean that from infancy and through childhood, the male and female paths increasingly diverge. Biology — accentuated by social attitudes which may themselves have a biological base — makes the destiny of men and women different, gives them different priorities, ambitions, and behaviour.

Chapter Five: The brains come of age

With the onset of puberty, the human mechanism is past the blueprint stage. Now the hormones take on their second role, fuelling, powering, and informing the brain and our subsequent behaviour as human beings. [...] Before puberty, in spite of all those infant sexual differences we have already documented, girls and boys have the same kinds of hormones circulating at the same levels in their bodies. Once the hormone levels increase, however, the changes are dramatic. In girls, at around the age of eight the level of female hormone begins to rise. [...] The hormones of boys come on stream about two years later than girls.

Chapter Six: The ability gap

Just as puberty dramatically sorts out the girls from the boys in their behaviour and social attitudes, the hormones play their part in accentuating differences in mental abilities and aptitudes. We know that the chemistry largely dictates the structure of our brains and the disposition of the functions in it. It should not be surprising, then, to find that differences in the organ of thought affect the things we choose to think about, and how well we apply our minds to them.

Chapter Seven: Hearts and minds

Physically, men and women are generally attracted to each other because of their differences. Ask any group of men from any culture to assess the attractiveness of a female, and they will tend to opt for the figure which curves where they are flat, is soft where they are strong and — though this may be a matter for aesthetic as much as scientific debate — swells where they are narrow. The same, in reverse, is true of women, who will tend to express a preference for men with broad shoulders tapering to narrow hips. [...] Yet in every other respect, we expect the sexes to be attracted to each other because of their similarities. Any computer-dating questionnaire will try to match intellectual like with like.

Chapter Eight: Like minds

The hormonal theory [of sexual deviancy] would explain why sexual deviancy is so much more common in men. Men have to go through a hormonal process to change their brains from the natural female pattern present in all of us, whatever our eventual sex, from the first weeks of our life in the womb; they have to be soaked in extra male hormone and restructured — so in the process of reconstruction the chance of mistakes is much greater than in the female, who doesn't need any reconstruction of her brain.

Chapter Nine: The marriage of two minds

Our new knowledge of what makes us tick, and tick to different rhythms, is not of itself going to revolutionise the complex design of marriage — we will present no new marital blueprint. But we do believe that much of the stress in this most vital of relationships stems from the misconception that men and women are essentially the same people. The contradiction between this assumption and the facts can lead to exasperation, bitterness and recrimination.

Chapter Ten: Why mothers are not fathers

Nothing is said to bring men and women closer to each other than the shared experience of parenthood. The truth more often is that, because of the different perspective each partner brings to it, few things more dramatically define the difference between men and women. However disappointing the fact may be to a devoted father, there is something unique in the relationship between a mother and a baby. No known society replaces the mother as a primary provider of care.

Chapter Eleven: Minds at work

We live in a world where we are no longer surprised to find a female prime minister, a female judge, a female rabbi or a female pilot. But there are still remarkably few women in top jobs, considering the large increase in the number of well-educated women. That is likely to remain the case.

Chapter Twelve: Bias at work

The Wall Street Journal once spoke of female careers being 'sabotaged by motherhood', demonstrating, in a few words, several misconceptions. First, many women do not see their retirement from the world of paid work as a disaster — home and family are a fulfilling and rewarding occupation. Secondly, motherhood is a career in itself, as any single-parent journalist will soon find out; and finally, even the most reluctant mothers, holding their new-born baby, find the notion that they have been somehow 'sabotaged' simply does not arise. If there is any question of sabotage, it is women who sabotage their own self-esteem. Too often they have defined career success and achievement in male terms.

Der Coolidge-Effekt

Präsident Calvin Coolidge und seine Gattin besuchten auf einer Rundreise einige Farmen. Als der Landesherr sich außer Sichtweite befand, zeigte der Farmer der First Lady einen Hahn. Er erklärte seinem Gast stolz:

"Dieser Hahn kann jeden Tag stundenlang mit den Hennen kopulieren".

Die Gattin des Präsidenten bat den Landwirt, ihrem Mann dies ebenfalls mitzuteilen, was er gern tat. Präsident Coolidge überlegte kurz und fragte dann:

"Mit der gleichen Henne?"

"Nein, Sir",

antwortete der Farmer.

"Sagen Sie das bitte Mrs. Coolidge",

erwiderte der Präsident trocken.

Lao Tzu On sacred sexuality, Hua Hu Ching around 300 CE

Although most people spend their entire lives following the biological impulse, it is only a tiny portion of our beings. If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
If you wish to unite with her heart and mind, you must integrate yin and yang within and refine their fire upward. Then you have the power to merge with the whole being of the Mysterious Mother. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 65, translated by Brian Walker

Three types of integration
1. The first integration of yin and yang is the union of seed and egg within the womb.
2. The second integration of yin and yang is the sexual union of the mature male and female.
  Both of these are concerned with flesh and blood, and all that is conceived in this realm must one day disintegrate and pass away.
3. It is only the third integration which gives birth to something immortal.
  In this integration, a highly evolved individual joins the subtle inner energies of yin and yang under the light of spiritual understanding. Through the practices of the Integral Way he refines his gross, heavy energy into something ethereal and light. This divine light has the capability of penetrating into the mighty ocean of spiritual energy and complete wisdom that is the Tao. The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 66, translated by Brian Walker

The result of this is improved health, harmonized emotions, the cessation of cravings and impulses, and, at the highest level, the transcendent integration of the entire energy body. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 67, translated by Brian Walker

Because higher and higher unions of yin and yang are necessary for the conception of higher life, some students may be instructed in the art of dual cultivation, in which yin and yang are directly integrated in the tai chi of sexual intercourse. […] If genuine virtue and true mastery come together […] the practice can bring about a profound balancing of the student's gross and subtle energies [otherwise it can have a destructive effect]. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 67, translated by Brian Walker

A person's approach to sexuality is a sign of his level of evolution. Unevolved persons practice ordinary sexual intercourse. Placing all emphasis upon the sexual organs, they neglect the body's other organs and systems. Whatever physical energy is accumulated is summarily discharged, and the subtle energies are similarly dissipated and disordered.
Where ordinary intercourse is effortful, angelic cultivation is calm, relaxed, quiet, and natural.
Where ordinary intercourse unites sex organs with sex organs, angelic cultivation unites spirit with spirit, mind with mind, and every cell of one body with every cell of the other body.
Culminating not in dissolution but in integration, it is an opportunity for a man and woman to mutually transform and uplift each other into the realm of bliss and wholeness. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 69, translated by Brian Walker

The cords of passion and desire weave a binding net around you. [...] The trap of duality is tenacious. Bound, rigid, and trapped, you cannot experience liberation.
Through dual cultivation [bonding subtle sexual intercourse] it is possible to unravel the net, soften the rigidity, dismantle the trap.
Dissolving your yin energy into the source of universal life, attracting the yang energy from that same source, you leave behind individuality and your life becomes pure nature. Free of ego, living naturally, working virtuously, you become filled with inexhaustible vitality and are liberated forever from the cycle of death and rebirth. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 70, translated by Brian Walker

Understand this if nothing else: spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution. Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 65, translated by Brian Walker
