The Bible is wrong. Money is not the root of all evil. History shows that the true root of evil in western society is peoples belief that they know the answer to the ultimate questions of life and death, that whatever it is they believe is exactly the same for everyone else, and finally that these beliefs compel them to convert everyone else into thinking exactly the same way.

Organized religion, at it’s best trying to convert you with shame. At it’s worst torturing and killing anyone who questions its dogma.

No one can know the answers to the ultimate questions of life and death for everyone else. Anyone who claims to know these answers for everyone else is a false prophet.

Most people believe that there is a separation between sex and the spirit, a separation between sexuality and spirituality. For those who hold that belief, perhaps it is true and correct for them.

I don’t hold that view. For me sex and spirit are intertwined. Sex is spirituality, spiritual practice is sexual. Indeed, I can say that for me, sex is my religious practice. I’m certainly not alone in holding to these personal truths; I’ve read work by others who hold to the same faiths. I think though that unquestionably this view is rare, not shared by the vast majority within our society.

If I’m violently fucking Roxanne, in a very real way that is a spiritual experience for me. If I’m gasping for breath as Milliscent smothers me with her ass, that too is truly a spiritual experience for me. If I have the honor of observing another find ultimate ecstasy, for me that is an observation of the spirit, a witnessing of the divine.

I make this post because as a whole our society shuns any blending of sexuality and spirituality; it erects an enormous barrier between the two declaring sexuality evil, spirituality good. For me this is a false wall. I know that it is a false wall for others as well. This construct of society becomes, for some people, a source of shame, guilt, and pain. People who view their sexuality, their sexual expression as fundamental to their spirit, but who at the same time are convinced by others that they are wrong, that they are engaging in evil.

It need not be that way. We can embrace our sexuality, embrace our spirituality, intertwine them, for surely, for some of us, they are our path to the answers for the ultimate questions.
