This post may seem way off the topic of touch and sexuality (just as many of the articles I post seem to be.) If you’re wondering why I post stuff that doesn’t seem relevant to sexuality and more along the lines of philosophy or spirituality, it’s because I write about my passions! So how do sexuality and spirituality go together? In my world – they do!

Sexuality IS life – it’s passion; it’s joy; it’s dance; it’s eating and drinking and loving and sharing and being in wonder at the moment which we breathe and move in. Sexual energy is life-force energy. Sexual expression is a celebration of life (or it can be that.) Sex is not just a genital affair. Sex is eyes, ears and mouth. Sex is feet and hands. Sex is fingers and toes. Sex is skin and hair. And when we touch sex we touch life. So enjoy!!

While on a recent journey, listening to music, it occurred to me that music is a form of worship. This idea is nothing new, but the experience was new to me. It is an offering to the Divine. Whether it be birds singing, or the music of rain falling, or one of the musicians I love so much, it is all an offering to the Divine, and the place where this worship is received (get this) is in Awareness. I am awareness, but no more so than you, and I am the space where the Divine receives these offerings of worship. And every single sincere song was written in hopes that one day, you, or I, would bring them into the sacred chapel of our awareness and give them audience, would receive the worship.

All the love ever offered to God, is directed to You. You’re It. You are the reason love songs were written. You’re the reason women pray to become pregnant. You are what honorable men go to war to protect. You are the reason worship was invented. And I am as serious as a heart attack. This is no airy-fairy, wouldn’t it be great if this were true, B.S. This IS the truth, as best I can see it and report it.

So, the next time someone suggests that you’re not good enough, first (in your mind at least) ask the question, “Good enough for whom?” Then realize that if they are talking about your ego, your identity, they could well be right. But if they are talking about You, they could not… be… farther… from the truth.
