“RAYS” Reflections About Your Sexuality

What should we share with Your Holy (wholly) Child?

Lust stems from an intense desire to get. The desire to get stems from a perceived lack. This perceived lack becomes a need. Needs must be satisfied to feel fulfilled. Yet with each attempt, one never comes closer to fulfilment. Instead, one enters deeper into emptiness. And the cycle repeats as the mind simply replays various forms of desire over and over. Leaving one feeling under the weight of confusion, under the strain of craving, and under the control of the ego.

Sex expressed as lust is cloaked in many costume, though all share the same content. Sexual engagement with another, masturbation via sexual imagery and fantasy, sexual deviations (paedophilia, incest, S&M, etc.) sexual identity issues, sexual domination, etc. The common trait they all share is derived from the common content and premise they all begin with: attack. With the belief that to get, attack is necessary. Attack serves the desire for lust; the need to get sexually satisfied. It makes no difference whether the attack is inward or outward. The frequency, the style, the denial, make no difference. "I attack myself or another when I do not accept wholeness."

Satisfying lust is not fulfilling. This is obvious when one observes that if it were fulfilling, why would it be incessant. If it were fulfilling, brothels and sex venues would be filled with the contented and whole; pornography would provide completion and joy; and S&M would uplift and brighten. Yet lust continues to beckon for more, unabated. Recognition and acceptance that lust is not fulfilling allows one to question the desire. Desire flows from imagination. Since Spirit is completely whole and without lack, lust could only originate from ego. Contemplation on the origin of desire invites one to consider that sexual lust is merely a distorted understanding of unexpressed & suppressed intimate connection. All desire is neutral, yet made known thru expression; for either Spirit or ego purpose.

Recreate an image in your mind of an intimate moment you experienced. That image portrays a mind extending peace and joy and a heart beating in unison with another being. These are the components that are present in intimacy. When intimacy is jointly perceived in shared Spirit awareness, the emphasis of form and content shifts. Intimate moments can then be extended with multitudes of expression. Standing on an empty beach at sunrise and communing with Source or a seagull. Having an intimate conversation with a friend as Spirit awareness envelops both. Extending peace and joy during passionate embrace with a lover as you uncover inner oneness.

Belief in intimacy as your freeing choice is as basic as seeing yourself as Spirit relating with All. Identity devoid of personal need and lack. Exchange the tendency to think of yourself as a needful being of lack to a being connected intimately to the whole. Desire depends on identity. Identity springs from imagination. Reimagine the desire if it holds limitation by reclaiming your true identity: “I am still as Source created me, I am God's Child eternally.” Connecting to true identity is an opportunity to extend in the same way Source flows. An unending abundance of love and light, extending without condition. Thus giving and receiving unite, dissolving the need to get from sight.
