Sex and sprirituality: the same, perhaps ?

Sex, sexuality, religion and spirituality..... explosive, contentious topics. The last four posts, passionately written as they are, are indicative of just how much intensity of emotion and depth of thinking these topics can generate.

Both sex, the act and the impulse, and spirituality, the feeling and the action, are the underpinnings of human life....part of our DNA, they come into being the moment we are conceived. And if GOD is the absence of ego, the known and self-identified, and ultimately, divisive self,

then both sex and spirituality lead to GOD.

How ? The moment of orgasm is the moment of 'no-thought', an eon contained in a second. So is the moment in meditation, where all awareness of body and mind disappears, as does time and space.

Whether we find the moment of 'no-thought' in an intense culmination of a physical and emotional act of sex, or through the sublime sense of one-ness that is spirituality, what does it matter ?
