I have a friend who as a young man was very handsome and flirty, but he ran away from romantic encounters and for a long time lived in an ascetic spiritual quest, repressing his own libido. It took him a while to overcome and transcend that Christian conditioning of guilt and sin in relation to sexuality. Perhaps he is still healing from this atavistic, millennial and misguided notion. It takes a lot of love about it, taking care of yourself, listening and welcoming the hurt inner child. Because thinking about it, on the path of spiritual evolution it is not necessary to renounce the body, the instinct itself. Repression doesn’t help anyone to evolve. The daily practice of meditation in Tibetan yoga has helped you to understand and heal yourself. The many years of ayuhasca work and therapeutic journeys also helped him a lot to transcend his limits.
It has been a great challenge to re-educate yourself, to reinvent yourself by transforming old patterns, but today you can more than understand, feel sex as a blessing, a divine gift of health, vigor and joy: without hurting anyone, with affection, a lot of cuddling , connection and responsibility is a healthy manifestation of Love. A powerful life boost. Dionysos, deity of ancient Greece – symbol of theater, dance, ecstasy, catharsis and transcendence. Far beyond the Roman image of drunkenness and orgies, as Nietzsche warned us; Dr Carl Jung and the Brazilian psychiatrist, Dr Nise da Silveira, taught us. Come to us the Dionysian energy that, in the path of enlightenment, rescues and balances us from the excess of rationality of the current world, of so much rigor in the discipline, so much fear of instinct and distance from the body. Consciousness, courage to live, perfect health, fullness in love and lots of joy. Long live Aphrodite, Eros and Dionysus!
Throughout this site we see (and often use) terms such as Bi, homo, poly etc.. why? Human. Male. Simple.
There are no labels (or shouldn’t be) because we are ALL humans with spiritual beings inside us. My spiritual being is in touch with its human and visa versa. Am I gay? Am I bi? Who cares. I’m a human. I am a sacred being. Simple. Who I love, who I admire has no effect on how I treat, see or love another. We are all human in love with ourselves and other humans…. regardless of gender
Spiritual greatness is not achieved by denying or hiding your sexual impulses. Rather, it is achieved by exploring them in a healthy way, without guilt or labels.
Legend has it that Mozart, the great composer, had a rather “scandalous” and libidinous sexuality. And his sexual conditioning did not prevent him from being a brilliant composer.
Being who we want to be (homosexual, bisexual, polysexual) is good for the soul and the mind and frees us from many emotional and mental traumas.
