- This is Spiritual Studies session 69.
This session follows the interplay of religion and sexuality from our ancient past to the present. In following this history, we see how we arrived to our current cultural attitudes toward the subject of sexuality and what arguments lie at the center of such historical attitudes.
On a personal note, when researching for this subject, I thought I'd end up purely in the ritualistic acts of sexuality, such as in the mystery traditions or in the more modern sex magic of early 20th century occultists. However, as I dove in, I kept wondering where this all was coming from, especially within the study of sex magic, I kept thinking that this all really seems like a polemic resurgence of sorts and a big middle finger to the Christian status quo. But then of course, I wondered, why did Christians ever become so prudish in the first place? And then I wondered about the big story and accordingly, this session became about this instead of the former. It's very feasible that I will return to the specific sex magic literature, the Sanskrit literature, and the mystery traditions for it's own future session.

“Welcome to Spiritual Study section 69”
A man of not only education but cultured forethought as well ❤
Don't know if he's some kind of believer
Wake up babe, new CG Dahlin
Feeling like a kid on christmas.
I love that this is essentially a commentary on the sexual identity crisis at hand, without declaring it as such. You are gracefu, sincere, musing, articulate, and quite thorough. I can't imagine the depth of investigation and cross referencing which must be undertaken to facilitate such a well informed presentation. Thanks for yet an other one CG. Burning the alchemical flask. ❤
@@stevhen42you're not wrong! Correction: human identity crisis, which all other crises are subordinate to. Thanks stevhen42
@stevhen42The last few centuries or so of this violently enforced compulsory cisheterosexuality
So excited for this! Great topic for #69 haha!
Too many people think Sexuality = lust, competition and purely selfish gratification; those people are ashamed and rightfully so. Outside of that abominable behavior, there is no shame to be had regarding sexuality. 😇❤
Sexy
Trying to shame people over sexuality is what's abominable. Different strokes, b!got, let other people live in peace.
Brilliant work, CG.
Coming from a Baptist Missionary organisation myself, I found great liberation in the teachings of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, as He rightly addressed ALL confusion surrounding Sex and Spirituality.
You may be interested in hearing the testimony of Julie Anderson on the New Thinking Allowed podcast, as she was a former Playboy model, who was Adi Da's wife.
Avatar Adi Da has now for all future time, addressed ALL aspects of the process of Divine Self Realisation for ALL BEINGS.

Love Artemis. My celibate lifestyle enabled me to appreciate her. And I think she watches over me somehow.
Artemis is probably the moon (mythologised).
@@gibmattson1217 why? The death and rebirth of Osiris is the moon mythologized. In what way does Artemis represent the moon?
@@gnomikon7836 Her brother Apollo is the Sun. The Sun and moon are often brother and sister or husband and wife depending on the version of the mythical story.
Osiris is probably the Sun in the underworld, reborn as his son Horus.
@@gibmattson1217 "probably" doesn't cut it. And you still haven't told why Artemis should be the moon.
Some say she's the waxing moon. Hunting is to this day is by some decided upon depending on phases of the moon. She's the huntress. Representing the wild. I don't have my books with me but I'm pretty sure Homer/Ovid/ Aeschylus associate her with the moon.
Sesh 69 let's goo 💪
A Veritable Treasure trove of Interesting esoteric subjects on this channel... Excellence
YOU DID IT!!! Great lesson btw.
The next sacred number is the most significant for Westerners: 72. After that is only 108 (the number of beads in Eastern prayer/mantra beads, due to the numerological implications)
Episode 69, Sexuality, eh?
In talking about Crowley and tantra, I had heard from several sources, that much of the practices in the Golden Dawn are sourced mostly from older tantric practices. Do you agree with that? Or have you heard that anywhere? I ended up getting “Tantra Illuminated: The Philosophy, History, and Practice of a Timeless Tradition
Book by Christopher D. Wallis “ book instead of the golden dawn because of that claim.
Synchronistic this is ep.69 😅
Some people teach in order to get the full potential of meditating and having a higher conscious you must practice absent of sex Or semen retention
I’m not sure if I want to try that The combination of sex and melatonin gives me very good sleep
I get you. We're all human, everyone has sexual urges. But the Indian/buddhist/daoist philosophy regarding sex is not exactly total repression, but a total inversion in its direction, thus transmuting the sexual energy into spiritual energy. That is important in Indian yoga, in buddhist yoga, and in daoist yoga. The aim is the creation of a powerfull, indestructible pranic body, which Will allow to attain an Immortal spiritual body, thus enabling the person to rise above Samsara, instead of being "doomed" to it. It is not for everyone obviously. I also recall the Bõn concept of the rainbow body, which seems to be the same as the pranic body.
@@gnomikon7836 thanks
"Men are the big boys and they're great." Lol. 😂
I doubt that the "Venus" figurines are Venus. I suspect they're the Earth (Goddess).
The chief prophet of the Druze religion is believed to be the biblical Jethro, who is believed to be the man who taught Moses about the Midianite god, YHWH (who is believed to come from the Arabian peninsula, but those nomads weren't writing in medium that survived history).
This is why Moses tells the Cananites in Egypt that the One God has never revealed his name to them before (the God of Abraham was Elyon/El, whose family was the Elohim, and the Beni Elohim being the sons of the El's (the many sons of the House of El).
It is YHWH, pronounce Yahooh, as attested by the Egyptian Yahu and the Greek IAO, omega being an ooh sound. The Elephantine Temple of Yahu and the Greek IAO (ee-ah-ooh) is a rare case where different languages represent the same God with the same sound.
It was forbidden to speak the name, and accents only entered the Hebrew script later so we cannot tell from Hebrew sources how it was pronounced.
I lean towards, in phonetic English, Jah-whooh.
Interesting because the ancient Persian goddess/demoness was called JAH, JEH, JAHI. She was originally a creatrix and her consort was a serpent/bull that she birthed. Together (sexually) they created the universe. She was later demonized by Zoroastrianism and made the consort of Ahriman. She appears again in Egypt as isis and Osiris with a similar myth and structure.
And hu was an Egyptian deity of primordial creation ( the word) and is the same as Thoth. They are knowledge and the word that emanates creation. While Jeh is the logos
I think Eros has been conflated with several gods, including Zeus. So erotic love, lust, can mean also satisfaction. Being free must be satisfying. Being free from material limitations may also be satisfying. The gods are erotic, the spiritual dimensions are erotic, awarenees is erotic. God is Eros. Eros is not limited to anything.

If you think paganism treated women better than Christianity, then I’m sorry, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. Christianity regarded women far better than traditional pagan Greco-Roman belief systems and cultural practices. Christianity hols men and women to same moral standards when it comes to sexuality, whereas nobody in the pre-Christian, pagan Greco-Roman world would give a damn if a man were a virgin or not before marriage, all that mattered was female virginity.
Yeah that's a load of horse crap which is easily disproven by simple research and the attitudes and perceptions of women in Christian history
You do know paganism's more than just Greco-Roman, right?
He is talking about very early pagan rites. And of course the secular pagans of the earlier times that preserved the mother goddess and her horned consort for example cult of Dionysus, the Minoans, the mystery’s of isis, Persian magi etc etc not the mainstream pagan religions of governmental Institutions
This video is just repeating normie anti-Christian talking points, there is nothing new here
Somebody seems hurt
