Love is something that comes to us in life. Quietly, it overwhelms us. It is something that you cultivate. You make it happen.
Love is something that we don’t control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn’t have a lot to do with enlightenment.
A number of Guru’s feel that there is something wrong or sick about being gay. I think it really doesn’t matter what your sexual preference is; what matters is the quality of your love.
Human beings are confused, deluded and generally un-awakened. So as a person who seeks to increase their energy, you have to be very careful about who you have intimate contact with.
The first sexual experience is a significant imprinting of attention.
I think I’ve learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love – what a wonderful testing ground, what a wonderful place to see and sense our limitations, to know that the pain reflects your state of awareness and not being able to hide from it.
Reciprocity, a symbiotic relationship, is a relationship in which two people have worked out certain terms. I am using you in certain ways; you are using me in certain ways. That is a balanced relationship.
An imbalanced association is when one or both parties become abusive and takes unfair advantage, tries to block another’s enlightenment or success.
Let us say that you wanted a romantic partner who is in a higher sate of mind, a nicer person. The reason you will meet that person is because you are in a state of mind that will cause that meeting to occur.
You see two people together. They’re in a relationship. It’s really power that holds those people together. And when the designs of power change, those people will separate and there’s nothing they can do in the meantime about it.
In the classical spiritual definition, a soul mate is someone that you have reincarnated with many times. You find each other in many lifetimes.
You and I might define a ‘soul mate’ differently. For most people, a soul mate has some kind of sexual connotation.
A soul mate is not necessarily someone with whom you set up housekeeping. Your soul and their soul have a multi-incarnation attraction.
We play in the jungle gym of sexuality until our spirit takes us out into a clear field where we can see the stars, the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment. One of those radiances is the dance of sexuality.
It is fun to be outside; it’s good to move your body and there is just a joy in sports and athletics.
As you gain more discipline over your body, you will find that a corollary discipline will develop in the mind because the two really go together.
Those who are already adept at some disciplines of the body will find that the study of Zen and meditation will give you much more control than you now have.
In order to succeed on the athletic field, it is necessary to succeed in daily life. Your spirit and your life must be perfectly trimmed for the chi to flow properly.
It is a good idea to become involved with sports and athletics. It makes you strong. You need to be strong to deal with this world and the powers and forces that block enlightenment.
Physical perfection, working out, adds to your spiritual perfection if that is your intent.
