The Old Carnal Understanding
We know sex. For decades, the topic has dominated deliciously detailed conversations, been packaged in movies with graphic visuals and delivered in music lyrics where artists claim to have invented it … reinvented it … and made beds rock until the cops came knocking. For the most part, our understanding of the toe-tingling event departs greatly from its biological definition, which denotes gender and intercourse that results in offspring.
To us, the twisted tango characterizes the art of touch, intimacy, love … or plain old bumping and grinding. While that libidinous perception certainly describes the erotic encounters we commonly witness, I often wonder if it’s a lazy way of simplifying mankind’s greatest love of all — what keeps us here, keeps us going and, ultimately, keeps us satisfied. Could there be more to this carnal coupling that plugs us into the constant buzzing of the galaxy? And if we knew more, could we make it better?
The New Cosmic Connection
There’s no doubt about it: good sex enlivens the spirit and satiates the soul. It escapes the body and connects us with our beings on another plane. It’s about more than intercourse. It’s about more than pleasure. It’s about engaging in soul lifting. And when one understands it as such, the outcome is an explosion into the cosmos … a release into the galaxy of perfect being.
Admittedly, like most great epiphanies, it’s much easier to understand good sex — cosmic sex, than to actually get it on. To simply get it going, we have to start by understanding who we are cosmically. We must raise the vibration of carnal energy to cosmic energy by exhibiting the higher realities of both genders. Let’s look at ourselves as males and females who complete one another in a perfect, kismet way. One cannot exist without the other.
Before moving on to enjoying better sex in next week’s feature, to have good sex now, ask yourself a few questions:
1. Giving: How do I contribute to this union? What can I bring to the bedroom that my partner is lacking or needs?
2. Receiving: What do I need from this union? Why am I truly seeking it and is this partner capable of giving it to me?
3. Uniting: After this union is complete, will both souls benefit? How and what will it add to our lives?
