Topics: The Power of Sexual Energy / Embracing the Unknown
Entry 653 - 7/28/21
I realized that much of what I say may not make sense to people who have primarily experienced dualistic realities or have been trained by society, religion, culture, and tradition to focus on duality as the only true reality. For these people, it’s like trying to describe what pineapple yogurt tastes like to someone who has never tasted pineapple. I will still try my best, but they may only conjecture what it might taste like. Without firsthand experience, it remains just conjecture.
Similarly, someone who has only been aware of duality and has not consciously experienced predominant non-dualistic unity may not be able to understand it until they experience it for themselves. How does one consciously experience non-duality? By going inward. Duality is processed through our five main senses and surrounds us, while non-duality involves inverting that process to experience the consciousness that accesses an infinite array of “divine senses” beyond the brain’s limits.
When one does this repeatedly, it stimulates the pineal gland, allowing more of the self to explore open and infinite experiences beyond the brain. I encourage you to take everything I say as arbitrary and not important until you experience it yourself and it becomes personally meaningful.

What I’ve learned about sexual energy, after becoming guilt-free enough to explore it, is this:
Sexual energy is a natural way for energy to be experienced and expressed. It is completely normal to explore this type of energy in relation to your body and/or another person’s body. Suppressing this energy is unhealthy and not conducive to the body’s natural way of expressing, interacting, and experiencing itself. If you personally choose to live an incarnation without using sexual energy, that’s perfectly fine. But if this choice stems from limiting religious beliefs, I advise you not to let them control you. However, I understand that’s easier said than done because fear is often used to control.
Believing sex is sinful outside of the government’s recognition of a valid relationship implies your morality depends on societal validation. If that weren’t the case, you’d be fine with God/Source/All That Is validating your relationship without seeking outward validation before exploring your sexual energy. When people say, “God said this is the only moral way to have sex,” I respond, “Does that even make sense?
So, the only moral way to have sex is to have the government make your relationship official? To have people witness your vows and kiss? Is that the only valid way to have a moral sexual experience? What about those in countries without stable governments who want healthy relationships and sex? What if getting married could put them in danger because of a toxic government? What if being registered as a couple endangers their family?
It’s never one size fits all. The Bible includes blessed polygamous relationships (though not polyamorous, as the patriarchal early Jews treated women as property), men with concubines, and more. If these relationships were truly immoral, wouldn’t God have explicitly said so? Yet, the God in the Bible didn’t condemn polygamy but did condone murder in some cases, like when David plotted to kill a man to take his wife.
Not using your sexual energy because a religion labels it sinful is like being told you can only laugh in church and laughing outside makes you evil. Or being told you can’t engage in playful, innocent energy as an adult because it’s embarrassing. These are mental constraints imposed to control people.

In my opinion, one of the last and final challenges we face is embracing the unknown without trying to encapsulate it in a temporary, faulty belief system. After moving from one church denomination to another, from religion to religion, from belief system to belief system, one eventually realizes that humanity has a tendency to label, confine, and limit the unknown into words and meanings. We create belief systems to feel safe.
The known comforts us. We decorate the walls of our mental prisons to feel cozy, avoiding what we don’t understand. We define what we think we know and take solace in others agreeing with our stories and ideas. The reality check comes when we stop playing with temporary belief systems and open ourselves up to our eternal, full Self. We stop limiting ourselves to ideas, images, or belief systems. We realize that our infinite, powerful, multidimensional self cannot be confined to a belief system the size of a five-dollar footlong from Subway!
A belief system versus eternity—there is no comparison. The temporary cannot compete with the eternal. Yet, we get lost in the temporary and apply it to ourselves, others, and the universe. We speak of oneness but perpetuate belief systems that emphasize a broken, chaotic world of eternal duality. We repeat doctrines that express separation as eternal, even when they contradict the teachings of unity, like those of Jesus. We often don’t realize this until someone points it out.
That’s why I emphasize this so much. If people don’t know they’re being manipulated by religion to perpetuate irrational beliefs, how will they know what to let go of? How will they know these beliefs are fueling their fears? It starts with a discussion about what limits us. Then, we can ask deeper questions about our identity, who society thinks we are, and how we’ve limited ourselves and others. We can confront the fears we’ve adopted and the fears we’ve spread, and work to understand and release them.
