How “Loss of Self” During Sex Relates to How You Are With God
Analyzing ‘Rumi’
Because with spiritual sex, you move beyond orgasm into a connection with yourself, your partner, and the divine — recognizing them all as one.”
― Alexandra Katehakis
Altered states of consciousness where time, self and space appear to change and dissolve have often been sought by humans either by using drugs or sex.
Meditation also can lead to powerful experiences of loss of the self although often it can take years of practice before this can be experienced.
Sex can provide the same experience.
Sex with a partner where loss of self and time can be experienced during the mystical union of sex with someone you love.
During orgasm, people can experience an almost complete loss of their sense of time especially if they increase their focus on their body so there is a more intense experience of orgasmic release.
I think what Rumi meant by this statement
The way you make love is the way God will be with you ~Rumi
was that the loss of selfhood experienced at the time of organism and union with another marks the way he wished to meld with the formless God who was in all, through all, and from which he came and desired to return.
God would meld with him in the same way as he melded with another and experienced loss and surrender of self in sexual bliss.
MELDED
As one.
Be one.
In one.
With God.
“Connected sex is a spiritual experience….It is spiritual because it’s a release from ego, a merging with the other, a discorporation into the atoms vibrating around us, a connection to the universal energy that moves through all things without judgment or prejudice.
Thus, orgasm is the one spiritual practice that unites nearly everyone on the planet, and perhaps that is why there’s so much fear and baggage around it. Because…it is sacred.
And every orgasm. Is in itself an act of faith. An attempt to reach out. And just for a moment. Relieve our separateness. Escape from time. And touch eternity.”
― Neil Strauss
