Samael Aun Weor

Samael Aun Weor is a neo-gnostic, and many around the world follow his teachings. Many of those visit this site because he recommends a similar approach to sexuality.

St. Paul

Hello Marnia and others,

Possible allusions to non-orgasmic sex in the writings of St. Paul have been noted here at Reuniting. This evening I found a Pauline text that supports this point of view, and that I have not noticed before:

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification
and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know
not God.... 1 Thessalonians 4:4

Here is one scholarly exploration of the text:

The "Dark Gift": The Truth behind the Legends of the "Fallen Angels"

This website has really opened my eyes. Especially as regards the Annunaki ie "fallen angels" being multi-orgasmic who according to the bible came down to Earth and created offspring of "giants" with human females. Kind of frightening to me in fact..

The rest of the website speaks of documented male multiple orgasm whether ejaculatory or non.

Evolution of Human Consiousness

Hi Marnia,

I havent read your book yet . But the moment I read the word arrow and something on sacred sex , I recollected one of the Osho's discourse on Saraha. The greatest Tantra master in the history. I am sure you must have heard of him. Here is his short story,

"Saraha was born to a Brahmin family in Bengal when Buddhism was strongly supported by the court of the region. Saraha became a Buddhist monk and a noted scholar. However, he was expelled from his monastic order, some stories say for drinking alcohol.

Historical details on the practice of karezza (by various names)

Here is a link to extensive notes collected by a man in Finland.

If you have time and like history, you may enjoy reading about those who recommended this practice through history, including Muslims, early Christians and others. It begins with a lot of material about the Catholic Church's condemnation of Karezza.

Bernie Prior-Spiritual Con Man?

Subject: Bernie Prior-An Uneasy Critique!
Date: Mon, 2009-07-13 10:20

Several years ago i was lucky/unlucky enough to attend a theosophical society lecture featuring a certain self-proclaimed spiritual master "Bernie Prior".
Never having been confronted by speaker who had obviously done his "esoteric homework/rhetoric" on a grand scale, or by a speaker who was so "confrontational" i was rather bewildered!
Innocently i asked a question and was told "...you are the problem, blah blah", and leaving the room felt that this individual was indeed someone "genuine".

Mr Bernie Prior.

This is a beware Bernie Prior Warning.

After attending a lecture years ago, and recently attending a Prior lecture i would like to warn people to be very discriminating when approaching this self-proclaimed "spiritual teacher".
I dont think St Paul charged hundreds of "pounds/talents" for spreading the "good news", and in my opinion this individual is nothing but a poor imitation of Barry Long who deserves credit and much more.(at least he was genuine).
Others views would be educational.

The Golden Tree - Awakening the heart with a mate

Is there a difference between withholding orgasm & witholding ejaculation?

hello there,
excuse me if there are any blunders in this posting. it is my very first one so i haven't been able to negotiate the site & its protocols yet. however may i say what a relief it was to find such a forum full of people willing to contribute to the knowledge pool of such the 'sticky' subject (excuse the pun) of sexuality & intimacy.
i fear i have many questions to ask (and hopefully perspectives & experiences to offer) but will limit my first one or two to this:

1-
i am a male.

Love Keys

A while back I read a book by Dianne Richardson. She was a follower of Barry Long and Osho who after running workshops wrote a book call "The Love Keys". Later it got renamed as "The Heart of Tantric Sex". I took the book off the shelf the other day and found that much of the stuff is very related to what is discussed on this web site.

She now travels around running workshops for couples and has written another book on the subject for women. I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience or contact.
