 Part five of "It's not about Sex. It's about Self" is available. Here is an excerpt: THE 12th HOUSE is usually considered the house of unconscious patterns: the things we do but don't understand, our hidden psychological legacy, and deep influences that are missing from view or are unidentified. The 12th represents our relationship to things that are unknown, or which we think of as unknowable, for example, memories of what it was like to be a fetus. It's often considered the most difficult house to understand, but in a way it holds the key to human psychology. It has distinct properties, and once you learn to look for them, they are easy to spot. and another... This parallel universe feeling of the 12th is one of its most distinctive properties. It is so dualistic that we might not even be aware that the other side of reality exists. When we are inside the 12th, only it seems real. When we step outside, it seems impossible, strange or embarrassing. Or, we are barely aware of it at all. Imagine waking up to one of those really intense dreams, one that seems incredibly real and vivid with profound implications. Within the first minutes after waking up, it starts to fade. The forebrain takes over and starts to apply rational thinking. and another... This is a hypothesis. I have not proven it; but I am curious. Consider the possibility that the deep, solitary world of personal orgasm contains freedom from our ideas about death, and the fear of death, and puts us in contact with direct experience of divine awareness. Imagine what could be, if we were to understand, refine and cultivate masturbation as a kind of yoga of consciousness, and create a culture or community where we support one another in this degree of self-awareness. We might be able to go through many inner doors to self-realization, be whole people, and relate to one another as such. Subscribe to the full series here.  |
