Sensual and Sexual Bliss

On Day Seven, I am focusing on the next two items I list together in my daily prayer time with the Nine Minute Prayer Project. They are sensual and sexual bliss.

Let me address the spiritual context first. The Bible is replete with sexual behavior from opening pages. If the human sex thing is out of hand, it has been out of hand since early on. None of us created it but we are all born with it and deal with it from the cradle to the grave. My friends, if you are so holy we cannot talk like this, you are free to be anywhere I am not. I am committed to helping people work this out without their being destructive to others or self - destructive to themselves.

Can I tell you early here that in your friend's humble view, all people in western culture are sexually jacked up? I believe that is our condition. We grope around in the darkness of our ignorance hoping to score what will work for us. At best that is immature thinking. At worst, it is just stupid. Our physical, social, emotional and spiritual health is at stake.

Here are some notions and images we (men and women) contend with. You have heard of the man that can't keep it in his pants. You have heard of the woman that can't keep her legs together. Both exist. People struggle to make sense out of themselves and the sexual power alive in them.

Young people sexting on phone by text messages is no accident. It is just a new way of trying to work it out. Sexual behavior makes people feel relevant and alive.

To be clear, anybody and everything can have sex. Sensual and sexual bliss is altogether different. Sensual and sexual bliss suggests that the sexual activity going on between you and who you (your lover) share this part of your life with have significantly communicated with each other on wants, needs, and dreams in sexual context.

You give to each other without limit for the pure joy of making them sexually happy. You are available for them to feed on your love in sexual context until they want no more. When you and your partner wave the white flag, sensual and sexual bliss has been experienced and achieved again for the moment. Please hear me; for the moment.

You will eat food again over and over to nourish your body. You and the one you share your sexual love with will meet again and again and again to share this experience of communion. Do I hear a hallelujah out there anywhere? Well that's what it's like in our house for a long time.

We talk. We negotiate. We talk more and express our love to each other that way. This is our spiritually mature way because we don't want to have go sex shopping everyday multiple times a day to feel OK.

What my wife Bonnie and I know is that men are going to keep on being men and women are gong to keep on being women. Being a church lady or church man doesn't change that. Being civilized does not change that. Being religious doesn't change that. Being poor or wealthy does not change that. Culture, class, education, or job has no affect whatsoever on this component of our biology. That's our lot and we should seek to act out this beautiful part of life in the most mature way we can.

For the record, I have not beaten up on anyone or any particular behavior. I know people are working this out the best way they know how. This is not the same for all of us.

Everybody doesn't like to have their back scratched everyday but they do on Tuesdays. If you are a Tuesday kind of person, you need to meet a Tuesday kind of person. To make the best choice for your life, you need to know yourself and the person you mate with.

If you like your back scratched everyday multiple times a day to achieve sensual and sexual bliss, you need to communicate that clearly with persons interested in you. They need to know. You need to mate with someone with similar appetites. Tuesdays mated to an everyday kind of person makes for a challenging future. I realize some of you will say you are the exception. If you are, you likely did not want to be.

You cannot deny what is alive in you. The Creator put it there. What the Creator put there has been spoken to be good. Enjoy who you have been made to be. Sensual and sexual bliss is your privilege. Love yourself enough to admit it. Get on with and get busy getting it. The next time you see someone at an event or activity you are attending look like they just shook and went, "whew". Well you understand.

To provide you all the biblical texts that support what I have shared with you would take a few volumes. I can do that. If you would like more information, send me an email. I will communicate with you.

I pray everyday that each and all of us will experience in abundance; sensual and sexual bliss.

Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad - Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

I love you each and all! Live and love like you are running out of time. You really are!
