Temple is not about s€×
At least for me right now.
I feel like many people who run Temples, (and many people who attend Temples), on the premise of healing or fulfilling the s€×uality, are missing a very crucial point that changes everything.
Of course it’s possible to bring Temple consciousness to s€×, but I’ve been on this path for nearly 10 years, and the further along the path I get the less I feel ready for full physical s€×ual union.
Yes I have attended many temples, and I have explored my s€×uality there. I have had both incredibly beautiful and incredibly painful experiences, and I have learned and grown massively through those experiences. I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm glad these spaces exist.
And yet.
I can’t help but begin to feel deep in my bones that there’s a reason the ancient ta***ic paths had you study consistently for decades before you got a glimmer of the secrets of ta***ic s€×ual sacred union. It just does not compute before then.
Because it’s not about that.
It never was.
But also it’s not NOT about that.
I'm even beginning to hesitate over our tag line “Eros as Medicine” and yet it IS Eros, it's Life Force Energy, it IS a medicine journey and it is inextricably connected to s€×, and yet it’s not s€×. It is completely reorientating your very concept of what s€× IS.
The work we do is more about step by step slowly peeling back layer by layer of what s€× isn’t. Everything that we have conflated with Eros. Our need for appreciation, love, success, worthiness, intimacy, connection, ecstasy... even union with the divine - we think, usually unconsciously, that this is what s€× is for. As we peel back each layer, and realise that those things are fully available to us in every moment, in every breath… then what is s€× for?
A good question is worth a thousand answers. I feel this is a worthy question to build a deep dive experience around.
Will you join me?
