Sex stuff

Some will argue that sex is a powerful and viable method to enlightenment. They will argue that the Tantric path is the path of bliss, that ecstasy and bliss are the very nature of what God is, and that sexual union is the method given whereby the two polarities of God, i.e. male and female, join and gain union once again. They will make a strong argument that in this joining is released the creative force that brings all manifestation into being, and that a careful control and expression of this sexual energy can bring enlightenment.

In the other camp are the celibates, the virgins, the pure. They argue that the sexual energy is something that must be redirected and focused away from physical concerns and towards the higher purpose of love and devotion to God directly. To use this energy in simple physical union is to waste it in a selfish and often degrading fashion and more often than not leads one away from God and into a dark world of physical gratification and addiction. A quick check of the newspapers, divorce rates, booming multibillion dollar porn industry, and numbers of unwed mothers and sexually transmitted diseases gives a lot of support to the celibate camp. I have personally never met a person who either obtained enlightenment or claimed to have gained enlightenment from sex.

Neither tantric sex or celibacy contributes one speck of value to obtaining enlightenment, that´s just weird. Enlightenment is not about a spiritual quest to obtain something -Enlightenment existed perfectly. The greatest lie ever told is that there is a search, a quest. None of it exists. There is no one seeking enlightenment, no one having sex, or living in purity - there is only the universe manifesting spontaneously and perfectly. There are no selves seeking, no lovers joining, no masters living in purity.
