The Ghost of Saigon

Spiritual Sex: Beyond the Physical

Spiritual sex encompasses sexual energy that goes beyond physical sensations of pleasure, genital orgasms and even the loving connection of sexual communion.

The more cosmic experiences utilizing sexual energy are most likely to occur in ecstatic consciousness states. The ancients believed that ecstatic union with the Source was the ultimate expression of sexuality.

The whole world, it seems, is preparing for something akin to World War III.
