I’m so glad for your thoughts. So please help me understand something...
As you and I have discussed before we see everything as One. There is no separation between anything including beings...that you and I appear separate is an illusion.
I guess what I’m asking is - if everything is One doesn’t that make everything sacred and natural? There can’t be natural vs unnatural of sacred vs secular if it’s all one. Aren’t such labels just our minds’ attempts to categorize what we perceive as reality?
Of course they are. But our talks are on the mind level where there's still sacred and secular, wright and wrong, good and bad, day and night, objectiveness and subjectivity. Until we attain Self realization/Moksha/Nirvana or whatever names has this ultimate state have these are only discussions of our minds and concepts. Ultimately, yeah, everything is One and even a piece of garbage or a thief are sacred.
I for now am still in duality with all of its ups and downs, but I see your point very clear :)
Ah my wise friend. I knew you would understand the dualism at play.
I’ve heard of the dry orgasm but not the Chi master you reference. I admit I’ve long been skeptical of practices minimizing/holding in semenal fluid, because they just sound like some ancient cover story, again, to scare people away from masturbation and sex or make it wrong and lesser than. I don’t know enough about it to judge though, and I’m sure the chi master is wiser than I. 🙏🏽
It's actually a practice of TANTRA YOGA that treats sex as a sacred practice and the retention of the seminal fluid as being essential in such practices.
Yes. Tantra. 🙏🏽 I’m basically a tantrika. Not because I learned and studied the teachings but because this is my life and it’s what I know to be true from experience. Just happen to have a label for that. Tantra. Thanks for reminding me
