Sexual Healing
Sexual abuse, exploitation, harrassment, inuendoes, these are
but a few terms that covers the negative aspect of our sexual world.
There's a lot of healing to do, from the individual level to the
global level.
"To think that anything involving the sex organs is sex
is to confuse an instrument with an interaction. ... Yet many
people believe that anything that employs the sex organs is sex,
and this false belief leads to rape, sexual violence, and other
perversions. Too many people make a fetish of the sex organs.
Though this is foolish, it's really not surprising when you consider
how long candid talk about sex has been taboo in this society.
When clothes are no longer designed to tantalize, when nudity
is fully permitted, when people are friendlier and more honest,
sexual violence will disappear." Quoted from 'the Wonderfull
Little SEX Book' by William Ashoka Ross ISBN#0-943233-34-8
Sexuality is a force of nature we cannot and should not try
to control. If we didn't have so many tabous and prejudices, our
society would be a whole lot healthier. The negative connotation
attached to sex that we inherited from past puritan value has had
a negative impact on our society in general. We try to control sex
so it doesn't control us creating very repressed attitude about
sex. At the other end of the scale we exploit sex and use it like
a bodily function removing all the magic from it.
And then there are the abuse based from distorded value about
sex. Situations develop around sexuality that build up like a tornedo...
(abuse, assumptions, expectations, roles, etc), then someone get
hurt. And when the storm is over, someone else picks up the pieces.
But the tornedo itself cannot hold all the blames. Values learn
from parents, from peer pressure, from constant media projection,
help create the sexual mentality of today.
Positive Sexuality
Consider this: The Creator (He/She/It/?) created the Universe,
then the living world, all living creature. Humans are but one specy
in this creation. But there is a repeating pattern of polarity throughout
Creation: the sexual polarity Female/Male. Sexuality is one of the
most important force of Nature. As important as the weather but
very very subtle. To bring peace to our society, we need to be in
harmony with our own human nature. To be in harmony with Nature
and the sexual mysteries of Nature is to be in harmony with Creation
and therefore with the Creator.
The best way to bring change for the better is to educate ourself.
There are many aspect of sexuality that can be learned. Others need
to be experienced. Exploring sexuality should not be done with just
any stranger. It should be done "In Perfect Love and Perfect
Trust".
