Osho on Sex

NOTE: The following comes from Osho's Sex Matters: From Sex to Superconscious.


Sex Matters



Why? Osho: we use sex to reach superconsciousness.
Sex is frequently repressed, suppressed, or denied--
certainly not openly discussed/debated.
Three levels has sex: physical, psychological, and spiritual.
It's the third that fascinates.



What do you seek in sex?
Pleasure, romance, tension relief, control, escape?
And what do you get?
Some or all or none of the above.
So. . .are you completely fulfilled after the sex act?
Most would say no--maybe a brief moment of . . .



So, what is it that sex, at its ultimate, offers?
At the moment of orgasm, the ego vanishes and
EGOLESSNESS emerges momentarily.
So, also, TIMELESSNESS emerges for a very short duration.
And it is these two elements that account for the
mad drive of humans toward sex.



It is not the body of the other that is craved for--

it is the taste of egolessness, timelessness, and utter silence.
As the ego disappears, there is a glimpse of the soul;
as time disappears, a glimpse of godliness.
Thus, there is a "religious"" experience, a spiritual
experience, underlying the craving for sex.
An expression of "oneness" not only with the partner
but WITH EVERYTHING!



The French call it "le petite mort" (the "little death").
Because you feel as though you are losing yourself,
losing control, almost like dying.
But be totally aware, let the witnessing self observe.
Enter into meditation right after orgasm.
Prolong the egolessness, the timelessness, and the
utter silence.
This totality is bliss!
Two emptinesses come together, yielding godliness.
Then you become a temple.



A paradox? Yes!
Being totally natural is the way of going beyond nature,
entering into superconsciousness.
The highest form of sex is not relief but ECSTASY.
Sex is simply sex--a natural desire, a natural energy,
the very foundation/source of all life.
Make it a game, a play, have fun!
Original BLESSING, not original sin!
TRANSFORM sex into love:
Be totally open and available to each other.
And taste God.
