Sex is all around us, in all of life, yet we seem to have such a fear of our relationship to sex. We as human beings still do not fully acknowledge that our sexual nature is a direct gateway to our soul. We believe that if we openly embrace our primal desires then there is something sick and twisted in our being. We are so focused on the way the world and others see us rather than fully embracing the great gifts that our sexual natures can offer us.
How many of us shy away from fully claiming that wild animalistic desires that burn within us, in fear of rejection, how many of us judge our bodies feel ashamed of our nakedness, yet how were we born? Nakedness, it is our natural state, society religion and in a sense our evolution has dictated how we need to behave in a proper respectful manner in relation to our sexuality.
In the words of Thomas Moore
“Sex keeps us connected to our deepest natures and links us to our roots. In that way it expands the source from which we live our lives.”
For humans beings, our sexuality which encapsulates sex, desires and love and which is a fundamental part of life, reaching down into the core of one’s being. We love life, and through our sexuality we find an expression of both our love and our life. Likewise, our life was conceived from sex, and the sexual act in human beings is most meaningful as an expression of love. Indeed, for human beings, sex, love, and life – at the deepest level – are functionally identical.
So why if our sexuality connects us do so many of us repress our sexual natures, pushing deep down into the depth of our being and denying ourselves the full experience of the very essence of our being.
