Sex and Spirituality

Is sex spiritual? If I’m spiritual, should I be thinking about and enjoying sex? This might be a question that some ask. First and foremost, we are all spiritual beings having a physical experience. You cannot be more or less spiritual. You are what you are. You can be more or less AWARE of your true spiritual (i.e. formless) nature, however your essence remains the same regardless of the level of awareness while in the body.

Sex is an experience just like all other experiences in life. Whether you are working, building relationships, raising children, having sex, or any other experience, they are all experiences. That is why you came here…. to experience life in the physical body and learn to balance and express your energy in a way that is aligned with your true nature.

Sexual energy is part of the creative process and to deny that energy is not beneficial. How that energy is expressed can vary by individual regardless of gender since gender is a physical concept and a limited expression of that energy. Your non-physical nature is a perfectly balanced blend of masculine and feminine energy (i.e. pushing and pulling forces that are part of the creative flow of all existence).

Sexual energy can be expressed in obvious sexual ways individually or by individuals coming together. It can also be expressed in ways that may be considered non-sexual such as a redirecting and channeling of that energy into an activity like manifestation of a new idea into the world of form.

There is no limit to what you can express and manifest as a creator with unlimited potential. Concepts of bad and good or right and wrong are subjective and based on the perspective of the observer. Be true to yourself. Create your world as you walk along your unique path of life.

Change Your Thinking (Thoughts)

If you want to see what you perceive as more positive and enjoyable experiences in life, change your thoughts to more positive thoughts. The phrase “change your thinking” has been uttered by many. Within that phrase is a pointer to what you are not, leading you closer to what you are. If you can change your thinking, then you are not your thinking (i.e. not your thoughts). “YOU” is the entity doing the changing of the thing called thoughts or ‘thinking’. When you change your thoughts, the electrical wiring in your brain, which is composed of electrical charges sent through neurons, begins to rewire to support the new thought processes. The more you think certain ‘new’ thoughts, the more the new thoughts become the norm. If conscious intent is made and energy is directed toward changing your thoughts into a more positive state, you’ll find that the self talk of the mind becomes naturally more positive over time as opposed to many who have a predominance of negative self talk. The new bucket of positive thoughts that now predominate your mind, leads to a predominance of positive emotions throughout the body. All of this in total leads to less stress (i.e. EASE) and the trillions of cells that make up the body become healthier. The brain and body, which are electrical and magnetic, are now vibrating in tune with a more positive frequency, and thus your perception of the physical world (via sense perceptions), is more attuned to receiving and perceiving positive experiences. You will be less likely to run into conflict or suffering on a daily basis and see that your life becomes much easier and happier. This doesn’t mean that there will never be challenges with opportunities for continued expansion of consciousness, however the experiences you have will tend to move into balance with your natural state which is peaceful and blissful.

Face Reality Within

I'm stating and feeling joy and bliss now. I'm feeling abundance now. I'm not waiting for something external to happen to feel it. The external world of form must (by natural universal flow) align to my internal state. Although my rational mind may not understand how things will come to pass, all I have to do is know that whatever I desire is manifesting now. I'm timeless and have all the unlimited potential to manifest all that I desire to experience. There is no obstacle, boundary nor limitation that can contain the essence of who I am, for I am boundless.....I AM. By speaking these words, typing/writing these words and most importantly, truly feeling the energy behind these words, like vibrations will be attracted to me. If I vibrate in a state of happiness and abundance, then happy and abundant experiences will flow into my sphere of conscious awareness. Like attracts like. People say "face reality", but what is reality? Reality is within you. The external world of form is a constantly shifting flow of creations manifested through single and collective points of consciousness. Do not look to the past, current or future physical manifestations of the world to determine your reality. Simply look within, and know THAT is your reality. If you are feeling sadness or despair, you will look around and find that in the physical world because that is what you can perceive and attract most effectively. If you are feeling happiness and fullness within, you will look around and find that within the physical world. Never become attached and identified with anything in the world of form whether you perceive that form as good, bad or indifferent because change is the only constant. Enjoy and play in the world of form which is simply the playground of creation for all of us as individual and collective creators of existence. Have fun with life because you ARE life. Psalm 23:4 - "Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me." In this quote from the Christian Bible, death is symbolic of change. Human beings rejoice in birth and fear death as something 'bad' or 'evil' when birth and death are simply opposite sides of the same coin. Life has no opposite and is eternal....YOU are life. Life permeates all existence. When you have a thought, it is born, and when the thought goes away it dies. The life that brought the thought into the world of form continues. It is the same for the body or anything in the physical world. When one learns to rejoice in death (whether it is of the body, physical aspects of life like possessions, or death of anything non-physical such as a feeling or thought) as in birth, true freedom is gained as you realize that you are eternal life and your external world will shift to align with the peace and bliss that comes with that conscious realization of your internal, natural state of 'reality'.

The Wisdom Of An Animal

There have been days where things may have not been going the way I expected and I was feeling a slight emotional discomfort as a result of it. The discomfort is of course related to resistance to the present moment. I've become much better at identifying any resistance and related symptoms while at the same time remaining in a state of acceptance about the present moment which immediately eases any stress. However, there have been times where I've forgotten, even if briefly, to create space between me and the thoughts and emotional forms which may have arisen in any given moment of perceived discomfort. In those moments, on more than one occasion, I've gained much wisdom just from watching my pet...a cat named Hayden. We call him Hayden and the general population of humans call him a cat. We even bought him a name tag with his name on it and a phone number in case he gets lost. He is a house cat so we let him outside from time to time while we are there with him but the majority of his time is spent indoors (although he spends a lot of time calmly looking out the window). The name Hayden is something we've labeled him with. We've also labeled him as a cat and a pet. We've also attached our human fears and insecurities about being lost by giving him a collar. We even keep him inside most of the time because "we love him and would not want him to get lost or run away". I realized very clearly one day during a time of my own internal emotional disturbance about something that was happening that day, as I was staring at Hayden while reflecting on the event. Suddenly my focus shifted from any thought about the event to amazement at the pure presence exhibited by Hayden. He wasn't worried about the previous moment or what might happen the next moment. He was just calmly sitting in the window purring. We have given him these labels and tried to attach our human concerns (due to lack of pure presence in the moment of NOW) to Hayden but he remains grounded in presence...an effortless state. We can learn so much from our animal friends. Oh, and by the way....without even trying, I became fully present just by becoming aware of Hayden's presence. Presence is beautifully contagious.

Now Is Perfect

This is my first posting to my blog, "Inner Space Connections". I've had a lot of friends and other acquaintances tell me that I should write a book, start a group or even more recently blog. Well I'm starting my blog now, and I also have a book that is currently in the publishing process titled "Inner Space Connections". I've experienced life as a series of amazing synchronicities and major spiritual/mental/emotional shifts that have lead to increasing levels of consciousness as I continue the endless journey of expanding awareness. There has been something within me, that, until recently, has held me back from expressing myself and the realizations that I've had. I now know that what was holding me back was my own ego. Identifying with any form, be it mental, emotional or physical, is ego. I have seen myself (i.e. identified myself...ego) as somewhat of a private person throughout my life. While I still enjoy the idea of privacy, I've realized that not sharing my gift with the world (and we all have gifts to share....we just have to find what they are), only serves to hold me back and does not assist others who may benefit and enjoy my gift. I feel a release as I type these words. Letting go and flowing with the current of life is the key to happiness. There is much more to come on this blog and I look forward to connecting with anyone who may gain something from what I offer.
