Sexuality and Religion

Em Português

Let's start our journey telling a little bit of the human sexuality history, analyzing each positive and negative aspect of it, how it was handled and conducted over thousands of years, the purpose of this manipulation, and also revealing some truth behind it all.

And when it comes to sexuality and religion, we are talking about two things that always behaved like oil and water: never mixed! Or rather worse, they never reached an understanding.  But now, we are moving towards a future where all this is going to change.

Our body was built to have pleasure in various ways, whether feeding, listening to music, dancing, hugging, kissing.  And the main purpose of it was to ensure the survival of the species, since no one would fail to do something that was pleasurable, that gives him satisfaction and joy.  No one would stop eating, once that was an activity that would guarantee happiness.

The Human Being is designed to be happy, to find happiness in any activity that guarantees him life, and it certainly always included sex, the male and female union with the goal of reproduction, the universal perpetuation of the species. Therefore, the union of the sexes has always been something sacred, divine!

So why consider something divine a sin?

For the Catholic religion, sex has always been considered something forbidden, a sin in its essence.  Something dirty, condemned.  And all the other religions that came after Catholicism followed the same pattern of repression of any sexual activity.  Even Buddhism considers sex an "energy waste"!

But why?

One reason would be an attempt by the church to maintain control over the procreation of the entire world population, since instilling fear and guilt to the sexual act would lead people to fear the act itself. After all, no one wanted to burn in the fire of hell to be having pleasure without God’s consent!  And so the church created marriage and baptism, not only in order to control human relations, but also as a way to make money by charging for these ceremonies.

The truth is that the so-called "Holy Catholic Church", and any other form of religious control, regardless of what kind of religious movement it belongs, has always been an enterprise, a government itself, which for many years exercised control over people's lives, using the blind faith and ignorance of the world's population to control their lives, since they were the ultimate authority, the only ones who could represent God on earth, through its trained and certified representatives by the Vatican, the Holy Pope, the highest Catholic authority or any other church authority, whether Lutheran, Baptist, etc.  They always claimed to do everything in the name of Jesus, but He was never properly represented by these institutions on this planet.  After all, we should consider that Jesus of Nazareth himself challenged and questioned the priests of his days, revealing all the hypocrisy of the environment, with all its rituals and laws.

But there was always the other side of the coin, which best explains all the reason for the domination and control by the churches and religions.

Tantra, an ancient philosophy that emerged in India over five thousand years ago, tended to treat sex otherwise. This philosophy tells us that life is made of energy, and that energy should not be suppressed, but conducted, and should flow freely. We are all part of this energy that exists around us, and this philosophy teaches us to make use of this energy, appreciate it and enjoy it! It is a philosophy that preaches our oneness with the great creative source, God the Father and Mother Goddess, treating the great Divinity as two poles of the same creative force, but which are necessary to ensure the creation. Since we are all energy, and live in conjunction with the great creative source, it is clear that we are all Gods in its design, and we exist to be instruments of the great universal creation, and that certainly includes sexual rituals!  Therefore, sex is seen in ways that, according to the direction given by the sexual energy in a male/female intercourse, this can lead to a direct contact with the Source. Thus, according to Tantric philosophy, sex is a religious expression, and orgasm, being an expression of the Kundalini energy, is something sacred that connects us directly with the Divinity.

Now, it is obvious that the Church, to ensure its control over the world's population and manipulate it as it should, could not allow a free sexuality expression like this, since it would ensure the death of the entire institution of the Holy Catholic Church!  After all, if we can have direct contact with God, even in the expression of our own sexuality, what does the Church stand for?!

And that is what is being rescued now for the New Humanity, of the New Age to come. It is currently undergoing a process of awakening, where everyone is finally realizing that God is within each of us, and not externally, and human sexuality begin to have their sacred expression redeemed, fully and completely.

Finally, it also means that this sacred expression of human sexuality goes for heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals and any other category of sexual relationship, whether human or not, that may exist in the near future. For the truth is that, this great energy which Tantric philosophy talks about has a name, and it is called "Unconditional Love"!  The universe is all formed by the great energy of love, and that's all that matters to the Great Creation.
