spirituality

In the beginning was the One, and It was infinite in all directions, neither male or female. But It was alone, and loneliness is not good for the soul. Alone, the divine being yearned to love and be loved, to know and be known, to touch and be touched. And so It split Itself in two. One half was male and the other female. The male half we call Shivapure, formless, unmoving spirit. The female half we call Shakti, our mother, who is matter and energy and form. Shiva and Shakti have always been one and will always be one, but to our eyes they appear as two.

Some time ago Marnia suggested that I contact Diana and Michael Richardson regarding any plans they might have to work in Canada. I wrote recently on behalf of all of us and received the following reply:

At present we have no fixed plans to work in Canada. However, we shall be sure to let Marnia know the moment we find the right venue and the right moment.

Senseipanda and Aphrodites Chela had a recent conversation about karezza as a form of energy exchange. It made me curious. Here is what Stanley Bass says in an interview related to his book, Energy Karezza, about the relationship between karezza and tantric sex.

What is the difference between Karezza & Tantra?

Golden Eagle used those words today to sum up his experience. It was surprisingly also not sexual either! When we started, I was in a crummy mood so we danced first to let that mood shift. In bed we used scissors and the kneeling position (see 2/7/11 post) with his body close to mine.

We both experienced kriyas. Jack Kornfield discusses these in his book, A Path with Heart.

Golden Eagle described the experience today as we faced each other in one of the positions that allow deep penetration (him, kneeling; me, lying down) as “alive” and the sensations as “so soft” and “so subtle.” Today I seemed to have little sensation, not sexual and not the tingly, blissful sensations of energy either.

I just started being apart of a cyber women's group. In which, of course, one of the first topics of discussion is sex. Wonderful! Lets just get right down to it and discuss who is having orgasms, how often and how many? It's great that these woman are so open. I shared my perspective on how I'm avoiding all that and really I know it works- to silent response.... And then the obvious sinks in.... believe me, I'm single.... .gif" alt="smiley"/>! [bigsmile]

I'm slowly Re-reading Cupid's Poisoned Arrow.

Now, I worry that this will confuse people in that it will seem like a sales pitch, but the book is replete with wisdom. I think the great thing about it is that it uses knowledge that already existed. It sews these pieces together which have been waiting for it.
