Sex is loving me, loving another and loving god.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822992298044627828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-89825999742560077402009-10-19T07:27:32.595-07:002009-10-19T07:27:32.595-07:00One of the reasons I follow your blog, Bernice, is...One of the reasons I follow your blog, Bernice, is because our lives really seem to be running parallel to one another's. Not our circumstances or situations, but our spiritual lives, our "personal growth" lives. Quite often I will read and it will be like you've been reading my mind or something...then I'll check the date on the post, look up at my calendar, and it will be uncanny. I checked the date on this one and smiled...had a huge, long conversation with a friend about this EXACT subject within days of the date of this entry. LOL.<br /><br />I will only add two things here. (1) I don't know at what period of time Osho wrote that, but I think what describes is fully possible with same-sex partners. His writing doesn't seem to include them, but it may be he wrote that many decades/centuries/whathaveyou ago.<br /><br />(2) I don't believe that a partner is necessary to experience transcendental sex. If God is within each of us, well, that's all you really need, isn't it, then? Yes, there are perks to having a partner, but no, one is NOT inhibited (or prohibited) from achieving that transcendence simply because they are "flying solo." There's something really, really amazing about loving one's self that deeply.Angel Atwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400100745812977490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-17140497166468669682009-10-16T18:32:52.021-07:002009-10-16T18:32:52.021-07:00Perfect...you are perfect, I am perfect, we are pe...Perfect...you are perfect, I am perfect, we are perfect....ahhh, my sister.<br /><br />I love you KD<br /><br />all ways,<br />Always.Magdelene ~ Lover, Mother, Mystichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130333217424478940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-56939374177573832042009-10-16T18:30:41.827-07:002009-10-16T18:30:41.827-07:00Definition of Priestess for Today's Times.
Pri...Definition of Priestess for Today's Times.<br />Priestesses honor the cycles and seasons of nature, and of life. They learn from, and work, with the natural rhythms of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and stars. They observe and value the relationships between Earth and Sky, nature and humanity.<br /><br />In families and communities, priestesses bring awareness to the way change affects life by creating time and space to honor life passages. They create and often officiate ceremonies that recognize the transitions of birth, puberty, a new job, the loss of a job, marriage, divorce, menopause, elderhood, and death.<br /><br />Priestesses may counsel and support others in times of crises, transition, healing, and creation. They may assist through their prayers, meditation, deep listening, or simply being present and bringing awareness and attentive witnessing to a situation.<br /><br />A priestess brings the sacred into form by connecting to Divine energy in her creative pursuits such as dance, art, writing, music, theatre, ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations.<br /><br />Deeply connected to her spirituality from the inside out, a priestess may also be a member of any religion or have connection to none. She may connect to the Divine in nature just as well as in any home, church, synagogue, or temple.<br /><br />A priestess makes a direct connection to the Divine from within and can apply it to every area of life.<br /><br />Bernice, here, we finally have a job-description. Thank you for sharing your beauty, in all your vulnerable truth... truly we can only know God, when we can be this way... open-hearted.<br /><br />Love KDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
