| THE HERO'S JOURNEY - Innocent to Magician "Life is most generous to the one who has the courage to live what she can dream" - Gerard Fournier Full sexuality goes way beyond what we do with our body. It's about how we deal with our energy. Sex is just a very tiny way that we define the life energy. When my husband makes love to me and I feel ecstasy, he doesn't give it to me. He doesn't pour it down my throat. It was already in me and something about that experience sparks it. When you look at a beautiful sunset and you must feel this ecstasy, the sun didn't come and give you a pill that makes you feel ecstatic. Somehow that ecstasy must have been inside of you or you couldn't have been stimulated by the sun to have it. So what all the great teachers for thousands of years have said is if you have this ability, which granted certain things turn on, why not find out how to turn that on inside yourself all the time. Why not find your own pool of ecstasy, your own source of ecstasy. Maybe the mind is like a tower of windows. We don't look out just one window in our mind. If you stay caught behind the same window of perception all your life, looking out at the same thing in the same way, every day, then you are the victim and prisoner of your own fear and limitation. True ecstasy comes from returning to your own original primordial energy state, which is a state of wholeness. "As we change, our reality changes too". - Lynn Andrews The truth is that the healing journey begins with the same thing that intuitive sight requires, which is a sense of self-esteem. "If you want to become a diver, dive deep". - Lili Fournier Most people have to deal with some kind of darkness whether it's internal or external or both. And this is the great challenge. I don't see how we can live a fully sexual life and try to continue to evade and avoid the dark night of the soul. These two come together. When you are living in this world in a more sexual way, that means you are more intimate with the darkness and with the loss, and that makes you human, allows you to be a sexual person; to have gone through these experiences. One of the great sadnesses in contemporary society is that the wildness that is in our nature, has been replaced by function and behavior and control. And maybe of the places where it's safe to do that is when you fall in love with someone sometime. And it's lonely that that is one of the few places, where if passion, if you like, is affirmed and expected. If you've been sitting on your passion for twenty or thirty years and somebody says okay you get to be passionate, you don't even know how ... how to find it. And that's the deep search that many people are undergoing at this time. I think maybe that another way of looking at the journey of one's life is that it is a quest where the transfiguration of fear is the constant sacrament. When you transfigure your fear, then you're increasing and deepening your freedom. Seeing is such a powerful thing, you know. Like the Greeks say, somewhere, that eternal... eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. In other words, if you're going to be free, you need to stay awake. If we can open our hearts and feel love then the decisions we make when our hearts are open come to fruition. Our lives are enormously successful, if we make decisions from love The magician, the magus says that most is accomplished with inconspicuous means. That means that the smallest most ordinary means gets you farther than the extraordinary does. And that if we just make the tiniest effort to begin, we will get so much help, so much support, from all the energies that exist, we won't have to do it alone. And I'm so passionate about people coming back to love because love is not just the path, it's not just the goal, I truly believe it is all that exists. It's all we all are. |
