THE SECRET OF TANTRA—YOUR SEXUAL PARTNER IS GOD
On another sexual note…Orgasm is the experience of simultaneously experiencing both Union with something while still being separate from God. Spiritually speaking, if one must concentrate on something until orgasm occurs, then let it be God. That way you will be happier by achieving orgasmic union with God.
The reason people sometimes express that strange face of horror during orgasm is because they are focused on anything but God, usually something about the partner that turns them on, or even just focused on pleasure itself. This sort of activity eventually leads nowhere because of the fact that one is always focused on something here in the hellish 3D world of Dualistic suffering we call life. This kind of sexual encounter provides only a fleeting glimpse of the ecstasy one could feel in union with God.
If you must focus on anything at all during sex, let it be God. In the practice of Tantra, this is the whole focus of the coupling ceremony—paying total attention to the partner whom you imagine is God, adore as God and worship as the physical embodiment of God. In this manner, when the lovers have their eventual orgasms, they are in essence focusing total attention on God through the help and assistance of the partner. The result of all this is that the sexual experience itself will be different, far different because the goal is whatever is on the mind. And in this case, the goal is God.
Whatever we focus on becomes a reality in both our inner and outer world. During tantra practice you are literally changing the person in front of you into a god-being. And your partner is doing the same for you. To help change someone into a perfect reflection of God, and thereby offering the Peace of God, must certainly rank as the most wonderful thing two people can ever do for each other. This may be Karmic reciprocation at its most immediate. Whatever you try to give this person is also given to yourself because the reality you create is experienced by you on both the Inner and Outer level simultaneously. This is the true work of God—helping others to reach God as well.
Imagine having sex with “God” and thereby getting closer to God the whole time…no wonder Tantra is so much more enjoyable than regular sex. Why anyone would engage in anything less than getting it on with the Almighty is beyond me…
